It might have raised a few eyebrows when NetherRealm Studios unveiled Mortal Kombat 1’s supported platforms. The next main iteration of the long-running franchise was confirmed to launch for the PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. With the Nintendo Switch being far from the powerhouse console that the next-generation platforms provide, it was perplexing to see that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One would not be supported. However, upon the game’s official launch, it was clear that the Nintendo Switch was far from a perfect game.
The latest Mortal Kombat installment has just been released into the marketplace, and it offers a new chapter to the hit fighting game franchise. However, on the Nintendo Switch, all that fans are finding is new memes to share online. This installment has a severe graphical decline compared to the other supported platforms. I’m sure you’ve seen the images surface online, showing just how big of a difference the game looks between the platforms. According to Ed Boon, the co-creator of Mortal Kombat and a developer still very much attached to the franchise through NetherRealm Studios, these issues fans are finding will be addressed.
Speaking with the BBC, Ed Boon stated that it would have been ideal for the company to have released the version of Mortal Kombat 1 they absolutely wanted. But as it stands right now, they are keeping a list of issues that are being addressed. Ed did note that these issues fans are bringing up are already on a list of issues that will be fixed. This might be a relief to some players who were hopeful that the game would be able to turn itself around and be an enjoyable version of the game for the Nintendo hybrid console.
This might also be another reason fans are ready for Nintendo to announce and release the next-generation console. We’ve seen several rumors before that a new console is being worked at and even demoed for select individuals. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 1 is available for players to check out now; just know that the Nintendo Switch version of the game is not receiving the greatest reception right now.

NetherRealm has released its latest patch for Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1’s Player 1 advantage issues came to light recently, with developer NetherRealm Studios confirming promptly afterwards that the issue would be addressed with the game’s upcoming patch. And though it’s arrived a little later than expected due to unexpected server issues last week, that patch is out now.
Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest mainline installment to the long-running fighting franchise. However, you might be keen on jumping on this game if you’re unfamiliar with past installments. That’s because Mortal Kombat 1 is a reboot, providing a great jumping point for the IP if you haven’t followed the narratives. This game should also be supported for a good while with the Invasions mode. Surprisingly, it looks like the next four Invasions seasons have been leaked online.
Mortal Kombat fans are already getting through the latest installment available. After Mortal Kombat 11, the development team over at NetherRealm Studios opted to do something a bit different. We’re getting a reboot with Mortal Kombat 1, where the focus is on a brand new timeline. As a result, there are several changes, such as new alliances for different characters. Fortunately, NetherRealm Studios is known for delivering new characters into the Mortal Kombat games after they release, and the same trend will continue with Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1 is now available for players to enjoy, and it’s been a rather well-received game. However, if you’re familiar with the Mortal Kombat franchise, you know that, as of late, several characters will get added to the roster post-launch. With fans anticipating more characters to come, we have a tease from none other than Ed Boon. If the name is unfamiliar, Ed Boon is the co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise. Ed is also behind Mortal Kombat 1 and has taken to X to highlight a few potential characters that could come up in the game soon.
