The final chapter of the Arkham series was something that fans were eagerly anticipating for the longest time. After all, Rocksteady had proved to everyone that their expertise when it came to developing Batman titles was second to none. This, coupled with the increased focus on the Batmobile, made the prospect of playing the final game in this trilogy a rather titillating one indeed.
Batman: Arkham Knight ended up blowing everyone away with its crisp visuals, excellent combat, amazing story, and gameplay mechanics that tied into the overall theme of the game brilliantly. While some people had mixed opinions on the Batmobile, there's no denying the fact that Arkham Knight was a great title… even though its release on the PC was marred by controversy. However, over time, all the kinks of Arkham Knight on this platform have been ironed out, and fans can now enjoy the game with the following mods to play the most optimal and personalized version of this title.
Dualshock (Playstation) Button Icons
It's still annoying to find that games still don't provide icons in the game for both the Xbox and PlayStation controllers. After all, there's a sizeable portion of gamers who prefer using the DualShock for their PC gaming requirements as well.
Batman: Arkham Knight is one such title that unfortunately suffers as a result of this. Thankfully, mods have come to the rescue and ensure that players don't face any problems while using the PlayStation controller in this title.
All DLC Batmobiles Unlocked
The Batmobile is a critical component of Arkham Knight's gameplay. However, looking at the same skin of the Batmobile over and over again can be rather grating at times.
While there are different skins for the Batmobile that are available in-game, unlocking them can be quite a hassle. However, with this mod, players can now use all the Batmobile skins from the very start of the game without any hassles whatsoever.
All WBPlay Skins Plus Golden and Pristine
Along with the Batmobile, Batman himself can be customized with a whole host of outfits and skins. However, a similar problem persists — most of these skins aren't unlocking until the player has made substantial headway in the game.

It was only a given that the modding community would rectify this issue. With this mod, players can now use all the skins present in Arkham Knight from the very start!
Remove Silly Effects
A big part of Rocksteady's Batman games has been the effects that come up during combat. These help signal when the player can divebomb enemies, counter attacks, or anything else along the same lines.
For some players, the special effects that accompany these actions can be somewhat distracting. To counter this, they can download this mod to remove these effects and turn Arkham Knight into a more immersive experience.
Arkham Knight Console Cheats
No PC game would be complete without a few cheats. However, given the abysmal launch of Arkham Knight on the PC, it was clear that cheats were not a priority at all when the developers were too busy trying to make the game playable.
Modders have taken care of this issue. With this mod, players can enable numerous cheats with the press of a single button. The cheats present in this mod include Invincibility, Extra Batclaw Range, Extra Grapple Height, Unlimited Smoke Bombs, Infinite Batmobile Boost, and a lot more.
Adam West Batsuit
Adam West's Batman is easily one of the most nostalgic and beloved versions of the caped crusader. The hilarious and comic hijinks that this version of Batman finds himself in is reflective of how the superhero was perceived in the past.
While the modern iteration of Batman isn't nearly that goofy, gamers would still love to get a blast from the past regardless. This can be achieved in Arkham Knight with a mod that adds the Adam West Batsuit in the game!
Advanced Colour Correction – Arkham Knight
Most people considered Arkham Knight to be an absolutely gorgeous title, with everything from the lighting to the textures being absolutely phenomenal to behold. However, as is the case with any PC title, there is a vast swath of gamers who can find points to nitpick here.
For players who want perfect visuals in this game, the Advanced Colour Correction mod is perfect. The green palette of the game has been toned down and other colors have been enhanced to allow for the most visually rich gameplay experience possible.
Batman Arkham Knight – ReShade
Some players want their version of Arkham Knight to use as many postprocessing effects and NVIDIA features as possible in order to make the game look as dazzling as possible. So, it's only a given that modders have been on top of this request.

This reshade, in particular, ends up being quite a substantial visual overhaul. It finely tunes the various graphical aspects of the game without going overboard, allowing for an excellent experience that a ton of people can enjoy while playing this title.
AGIAK (Advanced Graphical Improvements for Arkham Knight)
Given the immense quality of Arkham Knight's graphics, it was only a given that most graphical mods would come in the form of reshades. However, even in this department, there are several ways in which the visuals of Arkham Knight end up getting substantially enhanced.
The AGIAK mod ends up accomplishing the same with a bunch of clever tweaks to enhance the visuals of Arkham Knight. These changes include advanced color correction, ambient obscurance, screen-space reflections, SMAA anti-aliasing, and a dynamic Depth of Field effect as well!
Built-In Free Roam Mod
While free-roaming around the city of Gotham is a treat in its own right, there might be some people who could get bored playing as Batman in these sequences over and over again. Well, with this mod, this annoyance will soon become a thing of the past.
Now, players can roam the streets of Gotham as multiple characters. The list includes Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, Azrael, Hush, Gordon, Joker, Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and Batgirl.
