Atari and Digital Eclipse have released a significant update for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. The patch introduces the Krossplay mode, allowing players on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC to face off in Quick Match and Online Arcade. Additionally, online two-versus-two combat is added for the first time in three titles of the collection: Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and Mortal Kombat 4.
How the new cross-play system works in the retro collection 🎮
The implementation of Krossplay unifies matchmaking across all platforms, removing hardware barriers for online modes. The online 2v2 combat, available in the three mentioned titles, requires each player to have their own copy of the game. Digital Eclipse has optimized the netcode to reduce latency in matches with four simultaneous participants. Users must update the game and link a profile account to access these features.
Now you can lose as a team with friends from other platforms 🥊
Finally, after decades of waiting, you can prove that you are equally bad at playing Mortal Kombat 4 on both a PlayStation and a Nintendo Switch. The new 2v2 online mode lets you share the defeat with a partner from another console, doubling the speed at which you receive flying kicks. Of course, now you'll have no excuse to blame your rival's hardware when they pull off a fatality on you.
