Mortal Kombat 11 is one of the biggest fighting games to come out in years, with tons of fans playing the game across multiple platforms. Now it seems publisher WB Interactive Entertainment is spoiling these fans, as not only are they getting new holiday rewards on top of crossplay.
WB has announced that Mortal Kombat 11 crossplay (or “Krossplay,” as it’s calling it) will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One consoles. However, they have yet to announce when this will actually take into effect, and have clarified that cross-saves won’t be happening.
NetherRealm explained that the feature is currently being tested on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only, so it’s safe to assume that Krossplay will be coming to the Switch and PC eventually. Using Krossplay will allow PS4 and Xbox One players to enter the same matchmaking pool for Online Kasual game modes. Unfortunately, since there’s no cross-save, progress will be locked to whichever platform players started out on.
The news of crossplay being suddenly and quietly added to Mortal Kombat 11, the biggest fighting game on PS4 and Xbox One, spread quickly through Twitter and Reddit, with players taking screenshots of the game’s update history on PlayStation and sharing them online. The 6.8 GB patch on PlayStation 4 shows three broad patch notes: general bug fixes, gameplay updates, and added crossplay. Given that NetherRealm didn’t do any promotion for Krossplay before this update dropped, it seems more and more likely that PlayStation Network spilled the beans before it was supposed to.
Mortal Kombat 11 is available on PC, PS4, Switch, Stadia, and Xbox One.
