Competitive fans of the klassics rejoice! Digital Eclipse has made good on the promise to open the online battlefield even further -- allowing players on different console hardware to challenge each other in various forms of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection! Read on for details and patch notes:

Krossplay is the main feature added in this latest update from Digital Eclipse, but the new additions also add 2 on 2 Online Kombat where it applies in Ultimate MK3 (Arcade, SNES), Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PS1), and Mortal Kombat 4 (Arcade). Variable Refresh Rate is also now available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 (in handheld mode), and PC, allowing players to sync monitors to non-standard original arcade framerates (eg; 53Hz). This more accurate presentation may improve sensations of input latency as well. Check out the full notes below.

    Patch Notes:
  • Krossplay now enables players across all platforms to play online with other MK fans. PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC gamers can now meet and play in the same online lobbies or Quick Play sessions.

  • The 2-on-2 modes featured in Ultimate MK3 (Arcade), Ultimate MK3 (SNES), Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PS1) and Mortal Kombat 4 (Arcade) are now available for online play. These modes are designated with the words "2 on 2" when they are played in online rooms.
