Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios made a major announcement Friday morning regarding Mortal Kombat 11. Releasing on November 17 will be Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, what’s described as the definitive Mortal Kombat 11 experience. Not only will Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate feature a variety of new content, including new fighters, but alongside it will be a free Mortal Kombat 11 upgrade for next-generation consoles. And yes, NetherRealm’s confirmed free upgrades for both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Next-gen upgrades for games already available on current generation consoles has become a controversial topic in recent months. Games including Marvel’s Spider-Man and Control are being made available on either PS5 or Xbox Series X, but will have to be rebought to get their next-gen updates. NetherRealm isn’t following that path, instead deciding to preserve the game’s community regardless of which platform they buy Mortal Kombat 11 for.
In a press release, Warner Bros. Games breaks down exactly what kind of next-generation updates Mortal Kombat 11 players will get if they upgrade to a next-generation console. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S will offer 4K dynamic resolution for Mortal Kombat 11. Additionally, the game will have enhanced visuals, improved loading times, and cross-generation console compatibility for select modes.
Regarding that last feature, cross-generation console compatibility effectively means crossplay regardless of the player’s console. Mortal Kombat 11‘s “Krossplay Support” includes PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One, and both Xbox Series X and S. Do note that it’s limited to select modes which haven’t been specified as of yet. Crossplay was previously offered for PS4 and Xbox One, so Ultimate‘s launch will just be expanding it to the newly launched consoles. Previously, crossplay could be turned off with a toggle, so it should be toggleable going forward, too.
Keep in mind that the free upgrades for next-generation consoles and crossplay will be available to all Mortal Kombat 11 players regardless of whether they purchase the Ultimate upgrade. However, they’ll have to wait for Ultimate to launch before the features go live. The feature will also be available for all players regardless of when or how they bought the game, so new Mortal Kombat 11 PS4 buyers will still get the upgrade even after November 17.
The Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate bundle will feature Mortal Kombat 11, Kombat Pack 1, the Aftermath expansion, as well as the new Kombat Pack 2. Kombat Pack 2 adds the highly anticipated Mileena, Rain, and a Sylvester Stallone-voiced Rambo. The standalone Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate package retails for $59.99, while Mortal Kombat 11 owners can pick up Kombat Pack 2 for $14.99.
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate releases November 17 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
