Overview
- Steam user sentiment skews negative in early days, with reports citing input delay, audio bugs, and shaky online play.
- Input lag measurements vary widely by platform: about 22ms on PC, 51ms on Xbox Series X|S, 73ms on Switch 2, and roughly 108ms on PS5, according to testing by Nigel Woodall.
- Rollback netcode is reportedly unreliable and the game launched without online friend lobbies, fragmenting matchmaking across titles in the collection.
- Digital Eclipse released a PC hotfix that targets audio problems and says additional patches are in the pipeline, with console updates and online lobby features planned.
- The package earns praise for preservation, bundling early Mortal Kombat entries, the recovered WaveNet Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and a well-received interactive documentary.
