Digital Eclipse announced a new update for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is now live. The free update adds Krossplay for cross-platform online gameplay. You can now match up against opponents from any platform – PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Krossplay is supported in both Quick Play and Online Arcade mode.
The other key highlight for this update is 2-on-2 Kombat Online. Four games in the Kollection will support 2-on-2 matches, where one player can use a team of two fighters against an opponent doing the same. These modes were previously only offered for offline play.
2-on-2 online kombat is officially supported in Ultimate MK3 (Arcade), Ultimate MK3 (SNES), Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PS1), and Mortal Kombat 4 (Arcade).
Other updates to Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection include the addition of Variable Refresh Rate being supported as a user-selectable option for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, and PC.
