A filter for wi-fi is also coming soon.

Though some argue that Mortal Kombat 1 should have shipped with cross-play, it will at least be added to the game soon. NetherRealm Studios say that they are readying cross-play support and hope to have the update ready for February 2024. This update will allow PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC players to fight against each other.

NetherRealm also say that a "Wi-fi filter" will also arrive in the near future. This...

Each crash is another 1GB taken up.

Mortal Kombat 1 players on PC are probably losing storage space 1GB at a time and they don't even know it. If you ever had Mortal Kombat 1 crash on the PC, a crash report was automatically created. So, if you had the game crash five times, you would have five crash reports sitting on your system.

While this usually isn't a problem for most games, Mortal Kombat 1's crash reports take up a whopping 1GB of storage space each.

Mortal Kombat takes the second spot.

New figures from Circana (formerly NPD) put Starfield as the top selling title for September 2023.

Obviously, this is a pretty severe issue for a fighting game that can be played competitively....

To think my friend in high school said an 80GB drive was more than enough.

Mortal Kombat 1 was announced last week with a big, flashy CG trailer. Since then, the game started to appear on various storefronts, offering potential players a chance to pre-order one of the game's different editions.

One of those storefronts is none other than Steam. As Steam is a PC-focused storefront it stands to reason that some system requirements for Mortal Kombat 1 were also shared, and...

Everything is going back to the beginning.

It seems like these days that everything is getting rebooted. I believe this all started when Microsoft released the Xbox One despite it being the company's third major console generation. Then there was Battlefield 1. Ever since then there have just been more and more franchise or series reboots.

Now, Mortal Kombat 1 was announced by Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios. This series reboot is expected to be released this...
