Currently Arkham Collection is $29.95 https://store.playstation.com/en-au/product/EP1018-CUSA00135… while Return to arkham is $69.95.

Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:Arkham#Batman:_Arkham_Collection(2013)
says Arkham Collection includes Asylum, City and Origins, but on PSN it says it includes Asylum, City and Knight. Which is it?

Wikipedia and PSN both say that Return to Arkham has updated visuals, but only on PSN does it say Arkham Collection has updated visuals. But judging from the file size (Collection 114GB vs Return 49GB), they likely both have updated visuals. Or am I mistaken?

tl;dr: which games does Arkham Collection actually include and is it worth it for $30 right now?

    Return to Arkham is likely just the 2 remastered games. The collection has them plus knight and DLC I believe.

    The collection is something I haven't heard of and might be a PSN sale thing, whereas Return To Arkham is an actual Game (that contains remasters) from the publisher that sells as is.

    That could explain the difference in price, as the return to Arkham just isn't discounted where the collection is the sale price.

    Obviously the better value is the collection seeing as it gives you all the games for less. But now you just) must decide if it's worth 30 to you.

      Also the Arkham collection you have listed is the last generation one for PS3 and 360 where The original games (Asylum and City) plus Origins were included in a set.

      Next generation consoles and Knight weren't even out then. That's probably what you are being confused with even more.

      Summery.

      • You listed a last generation collection. (Wiki link)

      • The Return to Akrham Game (contains remasters is not on sale)

      • PSN is running a bundle sale of its own with the Return to Akrham and Knight included.

      Note you won't get Origins as it's not on next generation consoles. (Don't know if it's on Xbox backward compatibility)

        So there's no reason to get Return to Arkham over Arkham Collection?

          Yes, buy the collection in the PSN link above, it has all the games expect Origins, which I believe has not been remastered.
