Playing Mortal Kombat 1 with friends across platforms

Mortal Kombat 1 is a fighting game with online modes that include 1v1 fights, Kombat League, casual matches and private matches. For friends who want to compare skills, the main question is whether console and PC players can meet in the same lobby.

The publisher added Krossplay in an update for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and Epic). Nintendo Switch is excluded because of port and online lag problems. To use it you link your platform account to a free WB Games account and switch Krossplay on in the Online Settings menu. PC players must also pass an automated performance check, which requires a stable 60 FPS, so console players are protected from lag.

If a friend cannot find you, check the WB Games link first, then the Krossplay switch and the PC benchmark result. Fighting games depend on connection quality, so wired internet is the safest choice for ranked sets.
