Batman: Arkham Knight wasn't in the best state when it landed on the original Switch in 2023, but the Switch 2 has given it a second life.

Now, following a backwards compatibility update in November (which addressed some progression issues), another patch has been rolled out. This includes stability improvements as well as performance and visual improvements in handheld mode.

As an added bonus, the stability of the game on Switch has also been upgraded. Here are the details from WB Games Support:
