Gotham Knights will only run at 30 FPS and will not offer a performance mode on consoles
When Knight of Gotham arrives on consoles on October 21, it will do so without the performance mode and it will only run at 30 FPS.
As discovered by people like Wario64 on Twitter, news shared by Gotham Knights executive producer Fleur “Flaoua” Marty in-game discord channel, and she wants to take the time to address this question for console players.
“I know many of you are wondering about the availability of show mode for Gotham Knights on consoles,” Marty wrote. “Due to the types of features we have in our games, such as providing a completely unfettered co-op experience in our highly detailed open world, reducing the resolution and achieving Higher FPS is not so simple. For this reason, our game does not have a performance/quality toggle option and will run at 30FPS on consoles.”
This news follows announcement of Gotham Knight’s Hero Attack mode, that will be a free four-player co-op mode that will launch on November 29, 2022. Despite having four heroes – Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood – Gotham Knights’ campaign only supports one play or two players cooperatively. This new mode will give four friends the chance to take on arena-based challenges and see how all four heroes can work together to take down Gotham’s criminals.
In ours Gotham Knights Final Preview, We said it “wasn’t an easy game to demo and while I left less than impressed with many aspects of combat, I still found myself wanting to play more.”
