Gotham Knights has been rated for the Nintendo Switch by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
The rating suggests the game will be coming to Nintendo's hybrid platform in the near future, which was originally released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in October 2022.
A Nintendo Direct has been rumored to take place sometime later this month. If it does happen a Switch port of Gotham Knights might be announced during the Direct.

I legitimately don't know how they can possibly make this port work. This is a game that runs at 30 fps on PS5 and Series X, consoles that are lightyears ahead of Switch. They couldn't even get this game to run on PS4/XB1, they cancelled those ports because they couldn't get it to run on them properly, and PS4/XB1 are also more powerful than Switch. Cloud maybe?
Switch has a newer architecture with better feature set. Is not always just raw power.
Could be cloud but it also could just be that Switch is a bigger market.
There are few ports that are truly impossible. I don't believe that they couldn't get the game running on PS4 or XBox One. I do believe that they could not get them running on those systems with the amount of resources they were willing to devote to those ports. Especially if they knew they would likely have to wait about a year to release those versions and the XBox One and PS4 would be less relevant.
At this point the Switch is much more of a viable platform than PS4 or XBone. So, it's possible they're willing to devote more effort to getting the port working, even if it would be more difficult.
great point, id like to know also
Has the audacity to release it on switch but cancelled ps4/Xbox one verison lol
Obviously gonna a be a cloud version sigh Not like it matters for a game like this
That's weird. If they cancelled the PS4 and XB1 versions, it's hard to imagine they'd want to go through the effort of a Switch port.
