Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Criticized at Launch: Input Delay, Sound Issues, and Limited Online Options

The lack of multiplayer features and bugs with rollback netcode have led to the compilation receiving a "Mixed" rating on Steam.

Digital Eclipse’s Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has launched to fairly positive reviews from critics, but the reaction from players is vastly different. On Steam, the compilation has a “Mixed” rating with 45 percent of its currently 505 user reviews giving it a thumbs-up.

The biggest complaint among players is input lag, which doesn’t just pervade every title in the Kollection – it’s also apparent in the menus. Online multiplayer also suffers from a lack of direct challenges to friends and the inability to create lobbies, not to mention issues with rollback netcode (which results in sound glitches).

For what it’s worth, Digital Eclipse has confirmed that an Online Arcade for creating private and public rooms to invite players, holding up to 16 at a time, is in the works. It even includes the option to play multiple titles in the Kollection at once. However, there’s currently no ETA beyond “a few weeks after launch,” which also depends on “internal and first-party approval timeframes.”

Alongside PC, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out our feature for everything you should know.
