Developers of Batman: Arkham Knight have decided to stop selling the PC game because of performance problems such as crashing and freezing.

Rocksteady Studios have apologized to fans and say they are working to “address these issues”.

Batman: Arkham Knight is one of the most anticipated games of 2015.

At last week’s E3 gaming show in LA there were long queues waiting to give it a try before the release date.

In a statement Rocksteady Studios said: “We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC.

“We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards.

“We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall.”

Rocksteady Studios have said that unhappy gamers can request a refund from the shop they bought the game from and added: “We want to thank you for your patience as we work to deliver an updated version of Batman: Arkham Knight on PC so you can all enjoy the final chapter of the Batman: Arkham series as it was meant to be played.”
