The Arkham Series is one of the most popular Batman games out there. There are several fans who hold the game series dear and critics who consider it the best superhero game out there. Despite games like Marvel’s Avengers being present, nothing can take over gliding through the night of Arkham City illuminated by streetlights. The series consists of four games: Arkham City, Arkham Asylum, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight. Each of the titles individually sold millions of copies.
The official number of the sales for the Batman Arkham series isn’t available. The most recent news regarding the sales figures was reported almost 8 years after the initial release of the game. Despite that, the information available is too little to be taken firmly.
Which is the most selling Batman Arkham game?
The most successful Batman game from the Arkham series is Arkham City. It was one of the best games according to Metacritic. According to Hackernoon, one of the developers revealed the sales figure for this title on a LinkedIn post, and it turns out that this brilliant game sold over 12 million copies by the end of 2012.
Arkham Knight and Origins didn’t sell as much as Asylum and City did, so these figures make sense to some extent. Albeit, these are not official figures but just approximate values. Asylum would’ve been at the top by selling more copies if it didn’t have issues that hindered it from being favored among gamers. 5 years after its release, this title sold 14 million copies. While on the other hand, Arkham City sold 12 million copies in the first year of its release.

Arkham Knight is quite a prominent title from the main Batman: Arkham series. According to Hackernoon, it sold around 5 million copies for PC players only. These figures are approximate, and since there is no official record of it. Along with Arkham Knights is the Arkham Origins, who sold the most miniature copies from the Arkham series. This game serves as a prequel to the rest of the storyline. It also sold around 2 to 5 million copies for the PC; however, these figures are shallow.
These games had problems that prevented them from selling more among gamers. Arkham Knights had major port issues and poor PC performance. Arkham Origins was full of glitches and bugs at the time of its release, and those affected its performance on PC. Despite having these issues, the titles sold quite a lot of copies, which is a straightforward implication of how much the series is adored by their fans.
