Gotham Knights is getting a patch to address framerate issues

Gotham Knights is getting a big patch which will address the controversial framerate issues of the DC co-op adventure.

Gotham Knights launched last week for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the framerate hasn’t been perfect on PC, it’s been much worse on consoles. Furthermore, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are locked to just 30FPS.

Gotham Knights is locked at 30FPS on consoles

Don’t get me wrong, as with visuals, a high framerate isn’t the be-all and end-all ingredient for a successful video game. However, it at least makes a worthy contribution. Furthermore, the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Gotham Knights were cancelled in order to make the new-gen versions the best they can be.

Calling all Knights! Thank you to the Community for your continued support of #GothamKnights. It's amazing to see the game live and in your hands! As we begin to roll out Patches, we'd like to outline what to expect in the coming weeks as well as clarify some things: (1/7)

So, when Gotham Knights launched on new-gen consoles with a locked 30FPS, it didn’t sit well with many gamers. Moreover, the game would still drop below 30FPS from time to time. Which wasn’t a good look for a much-hyped PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S game.

Thankfully, however, the developers at WB Montreal are releasing a big patch to address the various issues of Gotham Knights. The patch in question is already live on PC which aims to fix reported problems related to co-op matchmaking, keyboard input issues as well as stability and more.

This Patch is meant to address general fixes such as players experiencing keyboard input issues, co-op matchmaking via invites, and stability as it relates to game crashes throughout the title. (3/7)

Gotham’s defenders are getting a fix on consoles

As for the console players, the patch is planned to go live next week. The Gotham Knights Twitter account also specifically mentions the console framerates. It’s a shame that Gotham Knights has had issues with the framerate because, in my experience, it is an enjoyable game.

The team is hard at work on a larger Patch to improve performance overall and give you the best possible experience. For console users, we are specifically aiming to address challenges with framerate stability. (6/7)

It’s unlikely that a 60FPS mode will be added at this stage on consoles. However, we will at least get a steady 30FPS, hopefully. Are you happy about the framerate issues being addressed on consoles? Let us know across our social media channels. 

Gotham Knights is available now for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
