Is Mortal Kombat 1 coming to Nintendo Switch? That's what MK fans are wondering ahead of the 2023 fighting game's release later this year.
Mortal Kombat 1 looks absolutely beautiful, trying to make the most out of current-gen hardware. Sadly for those still playing last-gen consoles, it's been confirmed that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users won't be getting Mortal Kombat 1.
So, where does that leave the Nintendo Switch? Sure, it's Nintendo's most recent system, but it doesn't hold a candle to the PS5 or the Xbox Series X/S.
We've got everything you need to know about MK1 on Switch right here!
Is Mortal Kombat 1 coming to Nintendo Switch?
Mortal Kombat 1 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Steam Store. MK1 is also making its way to Nintendo Switch, just like Mortal Kombat 11 did in 2019.
The Switch will be able to play MK1 in up to Full HD 1080p on your TV and at 60 frames per second too, if your TV is up to it. You won't be able to play MK1 in 4K on Switch though.
Switch is also the only way to play MK1 on the go, as the regular Switch can play MK1 in up to 720p HD on its 6.2 inch display. Those with the OLED Switch will also be able to play in 720p, but on a 7-inch display.

Lastly, players on PS5 and Series X/S can get the "Kollector's Edition", which comes in at £239.99/$249.99, but it is the ultimate version of the game for Mortal Kombat gamers.
Extra items bundled in with the Kollector's Edition include the aforementioned Early access, a 16.5-inch Liu Kang sculpture designed by COARSE and an inspired Liu Kang in-game character skin. You also get three exclusive art prints, as well as a steel case for the game and 2,700 Dragon Krystals (in-game currency).
