Surprisingly, Batman Arkham Knight has a non-compatible status on Steam Deck, although the game runs very solid. The game provides a very stable framerate and beautiful visuals that still manage to impress despite the years. Below you will find the optimal graphics settings.
Batman Arkham Knight on Steam Deck – console quality graphics in your pocket. Optimized graphics settings.
Arkham Knight runs very solid on the settings mentioned in the video and usually consumes 15-20W of power; if you want better battery life you can lower the settings – this game looks good even on low quality preset.
Postprocessing effects are optional and have a very subtle performance impact – I like antialiasing and motion blur in this game, but I hate chromatic aberration and film grain.
Steam Deck cannot maintain a stable 40FPS in Batman Arkham Knight regardless of graphics settings.
For best performance please don’t use in-game FPS limiter and VSync to avoid problems with very bad frame pacing.
