Batman: Arkham Knight cover

Why Batman: Arkham Knight is rated “Should work”

Valve rates Batman: Arkham Knight “Verified” on Steam Deck, which usually means it starts without special settings. That is the main reason it is rated “Should work” here.

It uses DirectX 11, which Sommelier translates to Metal with its own graphics layer. That works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

No anti-cheat is listed for the game, so nothing of that kind is known to block it.
