Incoming superhero title Gotham Knights<\/a> is one of the few games that isn\u2019t available on previous-generation consoles. It\u2019s rare that a game releases only on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S, but that is precisely what has happened here, as Gotham Knights will not be coming out on PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n The title was originally confirmed for PS4 and Xbox One, before WB Games Montr\u00e9al decided to drop those older consoles from its plans. Gotham Knights is missing on those platforms, which means that some players will miss out.<\/p>\n PS5 stock<\/a> and Xbox Series X stock<\/a> are still hard to come by, after all, although the Xbox Series S is more widely available (the \u00a3249 console is in stock at Amazon<\/a> right now).<\/p>\n If you\u2019re finding yourself asking \u201cWhy isn\u2019t Gotham Knights on PS4 and Xbox One?\u201d you\u2019ll want to read on. Discover below why Gotham Knights isn\u2019t on PS4 and Xbox One and why it is a current-gen only release.<\/p>\n New game Gotham Knights isn\u2019t on the PS4 or Xbox One<\/b> because the development team felt that the previous generation consoles were holding the game back. It was a decision that wasn\u2019t taken lightly, but WB Games Montr\u00e9al thought it was better off focusing efforts to deliver a polished experience on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n Speaking on a Discord AMA (thanks mp1st<\/a>), WB Games Montr\u00e9al executive producer Fleur Marty goes into some detail about why Gotham Knights will not be released on PS4 and Xbox One. It\u2019s explained that, \u201cwhen considering the scale and scope of Gotham Knights we had to prioritise and focus our efforts to deliver the game at a satisfying level of quality for current gen.\u201d<\/p>\n The development team acknowledge that the decision to go current gen only \u201cis upsetting to players\u201d who don\u2019t own either an Xbox SeriesX\/S or a PS5. They add, too, that they \u201creally didn\u2019t make [the] decision lightly\u201d. Ultimately, though, Fleur Marty explains that the team \u201cwanted to focus on delivering a game [it is] truly proud of\u201d.<\/p> Given the amount of detail going on in the Gotham City streets at any moment, and that Gotham Knights only manages to run at 30fps on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S it is somewhat understandable that it wasn\u2019t able to run so smoothly on PS4 and Xbox One. If the game can\u2019t run at 60fps on current gen machines, we dread to think how it would have played on previous gen consoles.<\/p>\n At least the game is not just available on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S, as you can play it on PC too. As long as your rig is powerful enough to run it<\/a>, that is. Given that the current gen has been out for a couple of years by now, you\u2019re likely to see more and more titles skipping the PS4 and Xbox One from now on. Gotham Knights is just one of the first.<\/p>\n Follow Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
