As video games evolve, cross-play is becoming a more prominent feature by the day. On the fighting front, there haven't really been many attempts to implement this option as most titles associated with this genre have enough online struggles as it is. Still, it would be great to see it more often, considering how the communities of these games are often divided across multiple platforms.
In the case of Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm has no immediate plans to implement cross-play. During a chat with Wccf tech, NetherRealm Game Designer Derek Kirtzic said the team behind the eleventh main release in the series had nothing to share right now, but cross-play was something being considered and a feature they hoped could be added at some point. If the feature does make it into the game, it likely won't be in time for the game's April launch date.
As noted by Wccf tech, Mortal Kombat 11 is powered by Epic Games' Unreal 4 engine, which will roll out multiple cross-play features throughout 2019. This means there's a fair chance NetherRealm could unite players across multiple platforms in the near future.

it kould be kool to get konfirmation.
Okay, the Switch version has to be 60fps. No one wants to play a fighting game on Switch against PS4 players and have a framerate disadvantage. I'm taking this as a semi-confirmation.
Please, please, call it Kross-play.
I'm hoping Sony doesn't put money ahead of their playerbase's enjoyment for this game.
Why is it so hard to incorporate this from the beginning?
Sweet, hopefully Sony doesn't block it.
10 bucks says Sony blocks it straight away.
@ReaderRagfihs I mean it makes sense. Why would they even say it's planned for the future if all versions weren't optimized for the same framerate? If the Switch version is 540p 60 prtable and 720p 60 docked, I'll take it.
Kross-Play*
And you guys usually think of the puns?
I dont care right now. First I want to see some screens and gameplay videos of the switch version.
Oh the anticipation.
I’m looking forward to this game.
