Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection update adds cross-platform play
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has recently received a free update that adds several major new features, including cross-platform play. Developed by Digital Eclipse, the collection includes 23 different Mortal Kombat games, spanning arcade, console, and handheld versions.
Collection contents
This collection is not limited to the mainline series, but also includes several spin-off titles. Some of the better-known entries from the franchise are included, such as Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces . The collection also includes the WaveNet version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 , a limited-release arcade test version of the game that was considered lost after its 1997 release.
Improvements to the originals
The original Mortal Kombat games have been enhanced with modern features, including online multiplayer and rollback netcode. This allows hardcore fighting game fans to play these retro Mortal Kombat titles on modern platforms, alongside more recent entries in the franchise, such as Mortal Kombat 1 , which launched in 2023.
Timeline
April 30, 2026: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection receives an update that adds cross-platform play.
October 30, 2025: The collection set, including all essential Mortal Kombat games, is released.
1997: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is first launched, including the WaveNet version now available in the collection.
New features and improvements
With the latest update, players can now play across platforms with others on different systems, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. This new cross-platform play is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the online gameplay settings for Quick Play and Online Arcade modes.
The update also adds support for 2v2 online matches in popular titles such as Mortal Kombat Trilogy , Mortal Kombat 4 , and both versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 . In addition, variable refresh rate (VRR) support has been added, improving the refreshed presentation and minimizing input lag. Localization updates and various bug fixes have also been rolled out.
Future of the collection
This appears to be the final major update for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, which helps explain the addition of so many significant new features. Digital Eclipse says it will continue working on bug fixes and improvements, but there are likely no further titles planned for the collection. These additions should give fans plenty to enjoy while they wait for the next major Mortal Kombat game.
