Originally launched in 2015 as the fourth game in the popular Rocksteady Batman: Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight is often considered the highlight of the franchise. The game picks up nine years after the events of Batman: Arkham City (released in 2011) and centers on Batman’s battle against Scarecrow, who is terrorizing Gotham City. It makes you wonder why anyone would choose to live there, though!
To finally defeat Batman, Scarecrow has teamed up with the enigmatic Arkham Knight and Gotham’s criminals. Released in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Batman: Arkham Knight was well-received by critics and won numerous awards. Many fans consider it a satisfying end to the Batman: Arkham series, and developer Rocksteady regained popularity, particularly after releasing additional downloadable content featuring new missions, character skins, challenges, race tracks, and Batmobile customizations.
With the recent release of the new Lego Batman game, Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, and its clear inspiration from the popular Batman: Arkham Knight, it’s not surprising that many fans are revisiting or discovering the Rocksteady classic.
Good news for Xbox Game Pass subscribers! The popular 2015 game Batman: Arkham Knight is now available to play for free as part of the PC Game Pass Essential tier. Many fans on the r/XboxGamePass subreddit were excited to hear the announcement.
One player expressed regret after purchasing the game for €3, wishing they had waited for it to be included with Game Pass, calling it “the best value in gaming.” However, another fan was pleased, explaining they’d been holding off on playing it on PC after starting it on Xbox, as they wanted a smoother experience with a higher frame rate and were now looking forward to it.
One commenter noted how quickly time flies, pointing out that despite feeling like a recent release, the game actually came out in 2015. They reminisced about the initial performance issues and poor port quality, recalling it was even pulled from sale for a period. They were surprised by how well the 2015 game still looks today, even after eleven years.
If you haven’t played Batman: Arkham Knight yet and you have Xbox Game Pass, now’s a great time to try it while it’s on sale. With the recent release of Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight, it’s the perfect time to experience the whole Batman: Arkham universe. We at Ebaster even called the new Lego Batman game “The Arkham successor we need and deserve!”
