Netherrealm has confirmed that the crossplay will be added to Mortal Kombat 1 in its upcoming patch next week. The studio will share more details about the feature early next as well.
Dubbed “Krossplay,” players will be able to link up with each other on other platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for both Steam and Epic Games Store. Unfortunately, it seems like the Nintendo Switch won’t be getting the crossplay feature in the next update.
Netherrealm has been consistently pushing out updates for Mortal Kombat 1 since its launch back in September 2023 and confirmed that Krossplay would be coming in early 2024. One of its most notable features already added is Wi-fi filter support. This allows players to decline matches based on the opponent’s internet connection. For example, someone who uses a wired connection can opt out against playing someone who uses a wireless connection.
Mortal Kombat 1’s latest DLC character, Peacemaker, will arrive on February 28 for those who purchased the Kombat Pack 1 and its early access. Everyone else will be able to purchase Peacemaker in about a week shortly after. A new gameplay trailer for Peacemaker was recently released, showing off his jetpack-powered fatality and a Janet Cage Kameo.
In IGN’s Mortal Kombat 1 review, we said, “The bone-crunching gameplay of Mortal Kombat 1 is some of the best the series has ever seen, thanks to the game-changing Kameo system. Netherrealm delivers a fantastic single-player story mode as well. However, the new Invasions mode is a grind and the online options feel dated.”

NetherRealm Studios has released a new Mortal Kombat 1 video featuring actor and wrestler as he discusses his DLC character, Peacemaker. The character is now available to purchase for anyone who didn’t already have him through the game‘s Season Pass.
Mortal Kombat 1 is having a big day today. The grisly fighting game is not only kicking off Season 4: The Huntress, it's also adding a new playable character and crossplay — sorry, krossplay — functionality, opening up the community across all platforms.
Like previous entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 is rolling out plenty of DLC fighters, with the game’s first “Kombat Pack” including Omni-Man from Invincible, Quan Chi, Peacemaker from Suicide Squad, Ermac, Homelander from The Boys, and Takahashi Takeda.
Mortal Kombat 1 fans think that the latest season of Invasions, which is named "Season of Chaos" in the game's files, has mixed up Mileena's theme with Havik's.
NetherRealm Studios has announced that Mortal Kombat 1’s fourth season of Invasions, Season of the Huntress, is live until April 16th. A new trailer announces rather blandly that players must battle an army of Ultra Mileenas. Yes, that’s really it, though the cameos from past versions of Mileena in the art are cool. Check it out below.
‘s fourth season is officially out, giving players the chance to earn a ton of new rewards. It also brings Peacemaker, who arrives in the game as the latest DLC character.
NetherRelam has just released the patch notes for the new Peacemaker update, which is now available in Early Access to those who purchased the game’s Premium Edition. While he was once a relatively obscure DC Comics antihero, Peacemaker (real name Christopher Smith) has garnered mainstream attention over the past few years thanks to WWE star John Cena’s performance in DC Extended Universe projects like The Suicide Squad and the Peacemaker series on Max. This has led to Peacemaker being included as a DLC guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 1 alongside the previously released Omni-Man and the upcoming Homelander.
The day has finally come for Peacemaker fans to step into the shoes of the DC anti-villain in Mortal Kombat 1, becoming available to those who purchased Kombat Pack 1 as one of the previously announced DLC characters. And with that, we've also gotten a sizable patch that includes a number of fixes.
Peacemaker just went live in Mortal Kombat 1 and, as most fans had been guessing, his unique gear piece lets players change (and even remove) his iconic helmet.
NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games announced that Mortal Kombat 1 will get a big update next week, adding crossplay functionality and a new DLC guest fighter, Peacemaker.
NetherRealm Studios has revealed that they are bringing crossplay to Mortal Kombat 1, or as they call it, Krossplay.
