The quick guide for Mortal Kombat 1 will provide clear instructions on how to create and join multiplayer matches, both online and offline, to help players easily invite friends and understand the Versus mode.
How to Play Online with Friends
To engage in online gameplay with friends in MK1, navigate to the main menu and click on "Versus." From there, select the "Private" option in the Online tab. This will immediately bring up the friends list, enabling players to invite their friends to join a private lobby. In this private lobby, players have the opportunity to participate in regular 1v1 matches or engage in the more intense King of the Hill matches. It is worth noting that Mortal Kombat 1's private lobbies offer two distinct modes: Versus and King of the Hill. The former allows for casual fights between two friends, while the latter involves a title defense match with the possibility of up to eight characters battling it out.
How to Play Online with Random Players
To engage in random matchmaking, opt for the Kasual mode. Simply navigate to the main menu and head to the Versus section. From there, select the "Online" option and choose Kasual to begin your search for an opponent.
Within the Kasual mode, you have two options for matches: Versus and King of the Hill. In Versus mode, you will be matched against opponents who possess a comparable skill level. Alternatively, the King of the Hill mode presents an opportunity to join a lobby of eight fighters, all vying to dethrone the reigning champion and earn Respect Points.
How to Play Offline with Friends
To engage in local multiplayer mode in Mortal Kombat 1, follow these steps:
Open the Versus menu.
Select Local.
Connect a second controller.
Choose a character and Kameo (if applicable) to start the match.
Press Y (Triangle on PS5) to change the local opponent to CPU.
How to Enable Crossplay in MK1
Mortal Kombat 1 currently does not offer crossplay. However, the developers have assured that they will implement this feature in future updates, allowing players to engage in battles with their friends on different console platforms or PCs.
This guide will be refreshed to provide a detailed explanation of the game's crossplay as soon as it becomes accessible.
