Mortal Kombat 1 is adding cross-play support in February

Mortal Kombat 1 will be getting cross-play support in February 2024, NetherRealm Studios has confirmed.

“Cross-play is coming in February between PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, so we’re very excited about that,” community manager Tyler Lansdown said this week.

NetherRealm confirmed plans to add cross-play support to Mortal Kombat 1 in a post-launch update when the game was first announced in May.

The series reboot released in September. VGC’s Mortal Kombat 1 review called it the best game in the long-running series to date, awarding it a score of 5/5.

Mortal Kombat 1 Season 3: The Cryomancer, which is themed around the arrival of Sub-Zero as the main boss in Invasions mode, launched on Thursday.

Also new is a wi-fi filter that lets players accept or decline matches based on an opponent’s internet connection.

Mortal Kombat 1 will receive story DLC in the future, its director recently teased.

“Well, just like we did with Mortal Kombat 11, we’re going to release a second part with more story,” series co-creator Ed Boon said during a panel at the CCXP23 event in Brazil.

“And we have a big surprise after that, so we’re going to be supporting the game for even longer than we did with Mortal Kombat 11. It’s going to be fun.”
