Mortal Kombat 1 Cross-Play Release Window Confirmed, But There's No Mention Of Switch

I just want cross progression for when I inevitably buy this game again on Xbox Series X down the line for like 10 bucks or something (like I did with MK11), but Switch doesn't seem to be included in that either -_____-

I think the game needs to actually play first.

Switch owners missed out on a lot of things. Like a functional game for starters.

I am okay with not having kross-play at the moment. I appreciate the game actually functioning and performing fairly well after the latest update. It is a low bar compared to the other consoles, but it is one that they thankfully finally cleared.

@Vexx234
I was just gonna say that LOL. It missed out on the best graphics, framerate, playability etc. I mean come on Nintendo stop forcing developers to half ass games because of your antiquated hardware. We aren't living in 2015 anymore. Switch 2 Needs to get here and it better not be weaker than PS4.

This game should get a re release on the switch 2.
They did the best they could, for an ancient tec handheld. And after recent patches, its actually playable.

@XandertheWise

Very true, the loading time improvement from the 1st patch is almost unnoticeable, but this 2nd patch greatly improves the loading time before the match starts from towers to online matches…even invasions in switch seems to load faster…

I believe this is what should have released in the first place and not the previous september release…

@Vexx234 Not really, you forgot the people who own a Switch also own either a PC, PS4, PS5, or Xbox as well. I and many people I know own a Switch as well as either a PS4 and/or PC of some kind too so third party games like this not many are missing out on.

I guess they know why. Most Switch gamers play over WLAN and the Switch connection is bad.

It probably has more to do with the Switch not being able to handle rollback netcode than just the Switch version not running this game well at all.

The roll-back netcode wont work under the switch optimized settings. This can actually make your PC incompatible under some conditions for this same reason, but in that case it will just tell you to flip a setting.

With the state and performance they released MK1 on the Switch, why would they?

I feel like this port shouldn't have existed in the first place. Would of saved everyone the trouble.

Between the dismal loading times and so so performance on Switch as a PS5 player i wouldn't even want to play with Switch players 😂

@NatiaAdamo You're 100% correct but Switch fans will buy anything and defend it too looking at the latest pokemon games and this mess.

@Truegamer79 its not nintendos fault how some 3rd party devs are being lazy with their games being rushed out in a horrible state and not taking their time like some do.

@iLikeUrAttitude thats not accurate at all not all switch gamers defend broken games like this along with a few others.

@Serpenterror Not every Switch owner owns a back up console. Even still that doesn't excuse the poor state the game was in during it's release.

So yes, Switch owners got screwed. It doesn't matter if you own multple systems, the Switch version is the problem.

@NatiaAdamo excuse me, but not everyone has the money to spend on a frikkin Playstation 5 or an X Box "series"

@XandertheWise I'm going to pretend you're being sarcastic to keep from accepting the cringe of your post.

@XandertheWise who died and made you the king of Nintendo simps?

The game is actually playable now and what I would consider "decent enough" for what MK1 is and what the Switch can handle. The most recent patch fixed the terribly long load times and the performance of the game pretty much matches what MK11 offered. Is it going to run and perform like the PS5 version? Of course not. Is it now playable and decent enough for those who want MK on the Switch? Yes.

For all those who don't know, the game is now up to MK11's level in terms of playability and performance. Will that stop people who don't own the game from commenting on it like its still in its launch state? No.

@Savage_Joe wait what? There are games on switch that use rollback netcode.
