NetherRealm Studios has confirmed that crossplay functionality for Mortal Kombat 1 will be arriving in February 2024. This announcement came during a recent developer livestream event promoting the upcoming DLC character, Quan Chi. This article will delve deeper into the details of Mortal Kombat 1 crossplay.
Long-Awaited Mortal Kombat 1 Crossplay is Coming
Crossplay has been one of the most fan-requested features for Mortal Kombat 1 since the game's launch earlier this year. Players have been eager to battle against friends and other competitors across platforms.
- Currently, the game only supports matchmaking between users on the same system - either PC, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
- During a NetherRealm livestream dedicated to promoting the imminent launch of Quan Chi, it was announced that crossplay functionality is scheduled to be implemented for Mortal Kombat in February 2024.
The addition of crossplay will break down these barriers and allow players to face off regardless of their platform. However, the Nintendo Switch version will not be included.
