Warner Bros has also announced that it will be giving away FREE digital copies of games from the Batman: Arkham library.
“This means we will be giving away copies of Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY, Batman: Arkham City GOTY, Batman: Arkham Origins, and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. The Batman: Arkham library of games will be given to everyone who has already purchased or will purchase Batman: Arkham Knight for PC prior to 11:59 pm PDT, November 16, 2015. We’re actively working with our partners at Valve to make this happen as soon as we can, so watch your Steam Library. We are aiming to deliver all of the games by December. “
Last but not least, Warner Bros announced the Community Challenge Pack for the PC:
“Rocksteady will be creating a new “Community Challenge Pack” that will be given free to owners of the Batman: Arkham Knight game in January 2016. As thanks to the Steam Community, PC players will have access to the maps for a week before they hit the consoles.”
We’ll put Batman: Arkham Knight to the test shortly, so stay tuned for more!

The performance isn’t any better compared to the performance back when the Interim patch came out. The re-release is better than when it first came out. Although I still get a 10 fps hit when in the batmobile.
SLI/Crossfire still doesn’t give much fps improvement btw.
Does it look as bad or have graphics been improved?
Their aim wasn’t to improve the graphics so there’s no difference
“The performance isn’t any better compared to the performance back when the Interim patch came out.”
It means play the game with interim patch instead of this ?
The re-release IS the game with the Interim patch. People were hoping it would improve after the Interim patch that’s why I mention it isn’t any better than when they improved it with the Interim patch
The graphics are also improved, mainly the texture work.
they are better than the previous version ? A lot better?
Textures are the same, apparently they work now.
They’ve said they’re still working with Nvidia & AMD to add full SLI/Crossfire support.
I’d say it was worse..
Not at all.
Performance wise I mean.
Its pretty much the same performance wise but the textures seem to be significantly improved since the interim patch.
The game is still unplayable with 2 GB VRAM and after all this time they are offering as compensation games that most people who bought Arkham Knight already have.
Congratulations, WB, Rocksteady and Iron Galaxy…
Better than nothing, but this still seems like they’re trying to get away continuing to sell their ridiculous season pass more than anything. I’m willing to bet the vast majority of people who bought the game already have the older ones, so there’s not much of value here for them.
Normally i would do it for the arkham library, but i already have all of them so……..
So they give away the old Arkham games but fans of the series already have most if not all of the games anyway.
