Mortal Kombat 1 crossplay on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC gets February 2024 release window
Mortal Kombat 1 players who have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to play with friends on other platforms apparently won't have to wait long, as according to one of the game's community managers, the crossplay feature will launch sometime in February 2024.
Shortly before Mortal Kombat 1's September launch, NetherRealm Studios has announced crossplay – sorry, Kross Play – It was planned to appear in a post-launch update. However, it was not stated when this would be. Three months later, we finally hit a rough patch.
If reported by IGNrevealed community manager Tyler Lansdown in the official yesterday (December 13). Deadly battle podcast, Kombat Cabinetthat “crossplay will occur in February PS5, Xbox (series|S) and PC.” No mention was made of the Nintendo switch version, so it's unclear whether Nintendo console players can expect to see the feature at some point in the future.
Otherwise, there will also be a Wi-Fi filter, meaning players can decline matches with others based on their connection type. Basically, if you're someone who uses a wired connection and you want to make sure your opponents do the same, this allows you to deny anyone who plays with a wireless connection. Hopefully this will allow players to avoid laggy matches most of the time.
Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the best fighting games of this year and was nominated for the best fighting game award at The Game Awards 2023. However, it ultimately lost to Capcom Street fighter 6. It was also nominated for the Innovation in Accessibility award, but lost Forza Motorsport.
