Developer Digital Eclipse has announced that, in a new update, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection now has cross-platform multiplayer. With the update, players will be able to pick the Krossplay option in the matchmaking settings to partake in battles against anyone, regardless of their platform of choice. It is worth noting that, by default, Krossplay is off, and players will have to manually enable it.
Krossplay is supported in Quick Play and Online Arcade modes. In the latter, all players can join a hosted room regardless of whether they are on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. The code system, which was brought in with the previous update, will remain available, making it easier for players to find rooms hosted by their friends, for example.
Another major change in the update is that 2-on-2 matches, available in some of the games part of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, can now also be played online. Previously, the modes were available only for offline play. The games with the mode are Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Arcade), Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES), Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PS1), and Mortal Kombat 4 (Arcade).
PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 players can now also enable variable refresh rate. While switched off by default, enabling it allows players to experience some of the older games that were meant to be played at different frame rates. This includes non-standard frame rates for the original arcade games, which were made to be played at around 53 Hz.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection was released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 back in October 2025.
