Gotham Knights Gets First Update of 2023, Patch Notes Revealed

02/14/2023 01:37 pm EST

Developer WB Games Montreal has today released its first major update of 2023 for Gotham Knights across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC platforms. When Gotham Knights first launched last October, WB Games Montreal was quick to follow up its release with a number of additional patches. Since that time, new updates for the game have slowed down, but it seems clear that the studio isn't done working on the title just yet. 

As of this moment, this new update in question for Gotham Knights can be downloaded everywhere. As expected, the patch fixes a number of lingering bugs and also improves stability for all versions of the game. Beyond this, though, those on PS5 have likely received the biggest overhauls. Specifically, this new update for Gotham Knights adds a number of new controller features that take advantage of the PS5's DualSense. Xbox users have also received some of these new controller improvements, although they aren't as vast compared to PS5.
