A massive update for the Nintendo Switch port of Batman: Arkham Knight has just been dropped, but players have reported that the game still has many issues. Much like the original Windows release, the Switch port of Rocksteady Studios' beloved action-adventure experience suffers from numerous technical problems.
Part of the Batman: Arkham Trilogy bundle that came out last December, the Switch version of Batman: Arkham Knight has been labeled by the community as one of the worst ports ever released on the handheld due to a combination of poor performance and game-breaking bugs. Developer Turn Me Up Games, which worked on a number of decent and well received Switch ports in the past, has tried to address Batman: Arkham Knight's issues with updates, but even the latest patch has seemingly done nothing to fix some of the game's most severe problems.

Turn Me Up Games, which previously handled the well received Switch port of the critically acclaimed It Takes Two, has not responded to any of the tagged Twitter posts that reported issues with Batman: Arkham Knight's handheld version after the 1.0.3 update. Publisher Warner Bros. Games, for its part, has advised affected players to submit bug reports on its support page.
Like Batman: Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat 1, another Warner Bros. Games-published title, also received a Switch version that shipped with a myriad of technical problems. Critics, however, were able to acknowledge that Mortal Kombat 1's Switch port was a great fighting game despite its issues. Meanwhile, many Batman: Arkham Knight players on the Switch have concluded that the port will
