When Is Batman: Arkham Shadow Releasing?

Are you looking to play Batman: Arkham Shadow as soon as it drops? We have the release windows per time zone to help you plan accordingly.

While it's a VR game exclusive to the Meta Quest 3, fans are still excited. After all, it's the return of the Arkham series and its depiction of Batman, one of the most beloved versions of the Cape Crusader by fans.

For many, it will also wash the awful taste that Batman's appearance had in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

While story details (which I'll avoid explaining to not spoil whoever is still interested in playing it) make Bruce Wayne's treatment in the game more bearable, the fact remains it could have been the last we saw of Arkham Batman.

But enough of that, when can you start playing Batman: Arkham Shadow? Here's everything you need to know.

Can You Pre-Load Batman: Arkham Shadow?

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be possible to pre-load the game. A few users have asked via social media about the possibility of pre-loading Arkham Shadow.

It seems developer Camouflaj or the people at Meta didn't allow for users to have the game ready before launch. It's a bit disappointing, especially if you wanted to jump in as soon as the game is released.
