Mortal Kombat 1 players have seemingly deduced how to finally face off against legendary secret challenge opponent Floyd. A self-confessed “Floyd chaser”, TheThiny, took to social media platform X to post a video of a fight against Floyd.
According to TheThiny, the way to get Floyd to fight against you is to keep completing Floyd challenges, which then make him appear. The video posted by TheThiny was seemingly captured by another player who managed to trigger the fight against Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1‘s Tower game mode.
TheThiny themselves have been quite active in the datamining community for Mortal Kombat 1, and has since also posted an entire shared doc that outlines the challenges players will have to complete to start a fight against Floyd. These challenges range from completing matches without taking a single hit with specific characters, to winning a match using not but throwing attacks.
While several players have since been able to take on Floyd, the character is still shrouded in quite a bit of mystery. Players are now trying to figure out Floyd’s moveset, which seems to have quite a bit of range. Floyd also uses a host of different elemental attacks, including lighting and fire. Defeating Floyd for the first time also comes with an extra reward in the form of a new stage.
Before Floyd was finally discovered by the Mortal Kombat 1 community, Ed Boon himself had been teasing the character earlier this month. Boon took to X to post about lyrics from the song Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, and referring to these lyrics as part of the “ninja oath”. Assets for Floyd’s existence in Mortal Kombat 1 were also discovered, lending further credence to the character being in the game somehow.
Boon had also revealed earlier this week that Mortal Kombat 1 had been quite successful, having sold more than 5 million copies. The game was also in the top 15 of the most-played PS5 games.
More recently Mortal Kombat 1 is gearing up to have Conan the Barbarian join its roster in a DLC slated for January 28. Developer NetherRealm Studios released a trailer showcasing Conan’s moveset, which is just as violent as you would expect. The DLC of the planned content roadmap for Mortal Kombat 1 will bring T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgment Day to the game.
Rmours from back in November, however, have indicated that the release of T-1000 would mark the end of post-launch content support for Mortal Kombat 1. According to these leaks, a host of content, including a story expansion as well as a Kombat Pack, have all been cancelled.
Since its release, Mortal Kombat 1 has seen one story expansion and two Kombat Packs, which brought a host of new additions to the game’s roster. The studio itself has been quiet about whether the game will get more post-launch support after the current slate of releases comes to an end.

The Floyd Excel Sheet is now complete with all 37 challenges!
There might be some mistakes as I continue to monitor feedback and listen to others’ playthrough, but in general the sheet should be fine!
Read the conditions on the right.https://t.co/SQA8m1bqhv pic.twitter.com/NlFpZgOK6K— thethiny – a floyd chaser🐰🍉 (@thethiny) January 23, 2025
