The exact, specific performance numbers (FPS) after the update.

When Batman: Arkham Trilogy launched, Arkham City was praised for being the most stable of the three games on the Nintendo Switch. However, "stable" is relative to the massive, open-world nature of the title.

Sources now confirm that the Switch port of Arkham City runs , maintaining a mostly consistent 30 frames per second (FPS) . While a 30 FPS target is standard for many demanding titles on the Switch, the key is consistency. The game rarely suffers from the dramatic drops seen in Arkham Knight . Even during high-speed gliding, the frame rate holds steady, making the combat and traversal feel responsive and smooth. At a resolution of 720p in handheld mode and 1080p when docked, the performance trade-offs are minor and rarely detract from the experience.

Frequently shutting down (not just sleeping) the Switch can help manage memory leaks in open-world games. Play on Newer Hardware:
