14 DAY TRIAL // For a very short period of time, the long-awaited patch for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight leaked via Steam to a number of players, and it seems that when it is finally released, it will significantly improve the performance of the game for all those who play it.
It's unclear whether developer Rocksteady and publisher Warner Bros. were trying to get it into wider testing or someone simply made a mistake with the distribution process, but gamers who got it and were unable to run the game well are saying on the forums that the changes were significant.
Since the initial beta for Batman: Arkham Knight on the PC leaked, another one was deployed in order to eliminate the first one.
The entire process is a clear sign that Rocksteady is not yet sure about all the changes that it plans to make and needs more time in order to complete the testing process, which involves a small number of gamers.
It's great to see that Batman: Arkham Knight will be greatly improved soon for all those who have problems with it on the PC, but now fans will put even more pressure on Warner Bros. to officially announce a date for the deployment of the patch.
The game is still set to get more DLC
Sales for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight were suspended soon after launch, with the publisher acknowledging that the game had massive problems, as many gamers were actually unable to play it and others got horrendous frame rates.
Since then, the console versions of the title received a range of downloadable content, including a big expansion that is centered around Batgirl and her exploits in an entirely new level.
All of this should be also offered for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight once the big patch is deployed and confirmed as working well for all players.
Initially, the update was supposed to be introduced in August, but now the involved companies are aiming to offer it before the end of September, and the leak is a good sign that they are on track.
