Ever since its launch on Tuesday, Batman: Arkham Knight for PC has been attaining less than favorable reviews and comments. Not only was the PC version surprisingly locked at 30 FPS, but the game was plagued with framerate dips and frequent crashes, and the hype that had evolved before release has now diminished to a heartbroken hysteria. However, Warner Bros. has responded to these problems by pulling the game from Steam, and plan to return Batman: Arkham Knight to the steam storefront after these issues have been fixed.

In an official statement from Warner Bros., it is stated that the company is suspending PC sales of Batman: Arkham Knight until further notice.

“We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards. We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall. “Thank you to those players who have already given valuable feedback. We are continuously monitoring all threads posted in the Official Batman: Arkham Knight Community and Steam forums, as well as any issues logged with our Customer Support (support.wbgames.com). If you purchased your copy of the game and are not satisfied with your experience, then we ask for your patience while these issues are resolved. If desired, you can request a refund at help.steampowered.com (Steam refund policies can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds) or the retail location where you purchased the game. “The Batman: Arkham fans have continually supported the franchise to its current height of success, and we want to thank you for your patience as we work to deliver an updated version of Batman: Arkham Knight on PC so you can all enjoy the final chapter of the Batman: Arkham series as it was meant to be played.” — Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

While this news may be hard on the many who have not yet purchased Arkham Knight for the PC, Warner Bros. believes that this is the best option as the quality of the game on PC is not yet up to par with the standards of the Arkham series. So far, Arkham Knight has been removed from Steam with this official statement as explanation. However, Arkham Knight is still available for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
