Batman: Arkham Knight Just Got a Gorgeous Graphics Overhaul

Despite coming out over a decade ago, Batman: Arkham Knight still looks better than a lot of the AAA games that released over the last year. It was so visually stunning, it's little wonder that the PC version of the game suffered from so many brutal performance issues when the settings were cranked up, even on the beefiest PCs.

Happily, Rocksteady continued to patch the game consistently afterwards, slowly turning Arkham Knight into one of the truly standout games of the generation. There's always room for improvement though, and one of the few areas where the game can look a little jarring on returning is in its textures. These have aged more quickly than the rest of the game, but thankfully there's a new mod that should put any concerns in that area firmly to bed.

As first reported by DSOGaming, modder GPUnity has released an HD Texture Pack for Batman: Arkham Knight that, as the name would suggest, updates all of the game's existing surface textures. GPUnity was one of three modders that worked on the project alongside Neato and Mr. Binks, with each working on a different area of the game's textures.

When hopping on to play, you'll notice the Batmobile has a fresh coat of paint while the game's other textures have been upscaled. Batman's legendary cape even has some extra details for the truly eagle-eyed among you.

This latest effort for Arkham Knight comes after GPUnity also did similar work for the previous games in the series. For Arkham Asylum there was the 4K Texture Pack, alongside Batman: Arkham City Redux for the sequel. He also released another graphics mod for Arkham Origins related to that game's shadows, FOV and snow deformation.

The best way to get your hands on it is via mod distributor Nexus Mods, where it can be found in the Arkham Knight section.
