NetherRealm and Warner Bros. have rolled out a new Mortal Kombat 1 patch, adding a new 60FPS option on PC.
It took some time, but nine months after the game's release, those on PC can now enjoy a new graphics setting. Prior to this patch, various sections in the game were locked to 30FPS, but this new update removes that lock. Yes, there already was an unofficial patch that removed the 30FPS lock, but we now also have an official patch. As mentioned in the release notes, this new graphics option is intended for users with high-end setups, and the new setting won't affect pre-rendered movies. Additionally, the setting will automatically be disabled during online matches.
Also, this patch comes with various character tweaks, including adjustments for Reptile, Homelander, Peacemaker as well as Kameo fighters Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Cyrax.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now worldwide for PC and consoles. Here's what we wrote about the game in our launch review last year:
"Speaking of cutscenes, like the last few entries in the series, Mortal Kombat 1 features a grand spectacle of a story and it’s the best ones NetherRealm has ever pulled off. Despite its title, Mortal Kombat 1 isn’t actually reboot, soft or otherwise. The game actually picks up after the events of Mortal Kombat 11’s time-traveling yarn, as Liu Kang – not just a god, but now the God – recrates the entire universe, with the notion that changing certain characters’ destinies will avoid the conflicts of the past. This means we get to see a number of classic characters in an interesting new light – Raiden is just a humble trainee, Mileena is now the honorable heir to Outworld’s throne, and Sub-Zero, well… Sub-Zero is an absolute prick. After decades of more or less doing the same thing, it’s fun to see these characters try on some different hats, and frankly, I actually like some of these new characterizations more than the original ones."
