Mortal Kombat 1: Update on the first day – You cannot play during this period

• Mortal Kombat 1 is now playable for those who pre-order it.
• There will be an update later this day.
• The servers are unavailable from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

After a launch trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 was recently released, the title is now available for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, this only applies to players who have ordered the Premium or Collector’s Edition in advance.

However, as Nethherealm Studios revealed on The reason for this is apparently that the studio is planning to upload a comprehensive update.

Update period

The servers remain offline from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., which is why no multiplayer functions are available during this time window. However, if you can do without this update, you should have the option to play in offline mode during this time.

For example, you can use this period to take a look at the new single-player mode “Invasion” or explore the story mode. By the way, this should offer around five to six hours of playing time.

Of course, you can also use this time window to collect more details about Mortal Kombat 1. We would like to inform you about the crossplay function and a new mini-game, which is apparently the reason why Mortal Kombat 1 has received such a high age rating.
