Three of these games, however, are mobile-only and are no longer available.

If you want to play Arkham Origins today, the easiest way is to play it on PC.

When Xbox originally announced backwards compatibility for Arkham Origins it wasonly for the disc version.

While cutscenes now look like hand-drawn comics.

The game first came out on handhelds, but an enhanced version was later released digitally for consoles.

Otherwise, you’ll have to dust off one of your old retro handhelds to play it.

This trilogy can easily be played on modern consoles thanks to theBatman: Arkham Collection.

If that’s the case, it’s tantalisingly tricky to figure out what the studio can do next.

Each character has their own set of weapons, combat style and way of travelling around Metropolis.

And there’s certainly no sense that Rocksteady’s team was making this with anything less than total conviction.

Besides these mobile games, there is one other title worth mentioning that is still playable: Gotham Knights.
