Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Hit by PS5 Lag Complaints as Digital Eclipse Pledges Fixes

Digital Eclipse plans near-term patches after acknowledging performance problems.

Overview

  • Independent tests by input-lag specialist Nigel Woodall report wide variance across platforms, with PS5 around 108 ms versus roughly 22 ms on PC and 51 ms on Xbox Series X.
  • Steam user feedback has turned mixed, with many reviews citing unresponsive controls, buggy online play, and audio issues despite praise for the archival documentary.
  • A hotfix is live on PC to address online audio glitches, missing 32X MKII audio, and stability, with console updates in testing according to the studio.
  • Online play currently lacks private lobbies, invites, and crossplay, and Digital Eclipse says an Online Arcade lobby system is planned for rollout weeks after launch.
  • Some PS5 customers report receiving refunds from Sony customer support, and the collection’s preserved input-reading arcade AI is frustrating players expecting modern difficulty behavior.
