Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has many great features, but also a litany of problems that haven't gone over well with the community.

for many reasons, mainly its commitment to documenting the series’ history and importance through various ports and documentaries. Given how Warner Bros. has been reluctant to celebrate Mortal Kombat’s past, many were highly anticipating this release.

However, not everything has been going smoothly in the Netherrealm. Many have cited various issues with the collection, some of which were called out in a few reviews.‘s input lag is arguably the biggest and most widely discussed problem with the game. This can make the controls feel sluggish and unresponsive, which is not ideal for any game and much less so for a fighting game where every frame counts.PS4 : 108.86 milliseconds As the numbers show, both PlayStation systems are far and away the worst culprits, with the PC version having around five times less input lag than the latest Sony console. And given how big the PS5’s user base is, it is likely a lion’s share of players will be playing the laggiest version. Woodall alsoHead of production at Digital Eclipse, Stephen Frost, took to social media to give out updates and listen to player concerns. Hea patch regarding the input lag on both PlayStation systems should be out sometime later in the week starting on November 3rd. However, it remains to be seen how much the input lag will be reduced by., implying there might not be much the studio can do for those two platforms. Nintendo’s hardware wasn’t mentioned.‘s online features have been catching heat from all sides. For one, the bundle does not include private lobbies, crossplay, an invite system, or any way to matchmake for multiple games at the same time. The lack of lobbies and an invite system means players can only fight against random people and not against their friends, while crossplay narrows the player pool by excluding those on other systems. Not being able to matchmake for multiple games at once can splinter the player base and cause longer wait times. And all of these issues, when taken as a whole, putsays an Online Arcade feature is in development and will allow users to create private or public rooms and invite others in. Up to 16 players will be able to join and everyone can play different games at different times, implement “winner stays” rules, or just spectate. It is expected to come a “few weeks after launch,” but no more specific time frame was given. Digital Eclipse said these online features were “more ambitious” than what the studio has done in past games, so it “demands additional testing both internally and from external partners before it’s ready for players to enjoy.”Crossplay is a little more up in the air. The game’s FAQ notes that it is something the team would “love to add,” but it isn’t committing to the feature because it is a “little more complex than it might look.” However, whenat EVO 2025, lead producer Steven Johnson said it was something Digital Eclipse “definitely” wanted to do and “literally the next thing on list.” This interview was posted on August 1st, which predates the FAQ, so plans or priorities may have changed over the months, which might explain the hesitancy in the official FAQ that was posted at a later date. The FAQ also explains how online play for handheld games and ranked matches are both likely not coming, the former of which is difficult because of how emulating link cables is tricky and might introduce more “instability and uncertainty.” Aside from missing features, online play is still buggy. The most prevalent glitch has to do with the audio, as it sharply cuts in and out frequently. Arolled out on Steam on November 1st and is said to have fixed this glitch. It is likely the first big patch on consoles will address this, too , it is unlikely the AI will ever be addressed. This is a collection, not a remake, so it makes sense these games will have the same AI they had in the originals. Many of the titles have difficulty options that can be adjusted both in the actual towers and through the collection’s overlay menu, but this doesn’t stop the CPU from input reading and, as the MVG video shows, only appears to delay how quickly the difficulty ramps up. There are various videos players can watch that show how to exploit the enemy AI, like‘s documentary portions) that illustrates how bosses can be easily killed.Get access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more!
