We already know the requirements of Mortal Kombat 1 for PC, the game that includes a new starting point for a well-known franchise by NetherRealm and that it will arrive as an exclusive game for PC and current generation consoles. This means that it will not be available for PS4 and Xbox One, and that it will have a much higher graphics modification than the requirements of Mortal Kombat 11.

It is clear that since Mortal Kombat 1 is designed as a current generation exclusive title, the requirements will be higher than those of Mortal Kombat 11. This has been confirmed and the difference is so great that The minimum requirements of Mortal Kombat 1 are even higher than the recommended requirements of Mortal Kombat 11.

Unfortunately NetherRealm you didn’t say what level of performance we can expect if we meet these requirements, I cannot give you any completely reliable information in this regard. However, I imagine that the minimum requirements will be enough to play well in 1080p, and the recommended ones will allow us to play without problems in 1440p or even in 4K with a graphic quality adjustment.

Mortal Kombat 1 Minimum Requirements

• Windows 10 64-bit as the operating system.
• Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100 processor (quad-core). The equivalence is not correct because the Ryzen 3 3100 has four cores and eight threads and the Core i5-6600 has four cores and four threads. The right thing would be the Ryzen 3 2300X.
• 8 GB of RAM.
• Graphics card GeForce GTX 980 or Radeon RX 470 or Intel Arc A750. There are serious shortcomings here, as the Intel Arc A750 is much more powerful than the other two, and the GTX 980 outperforms even the Radeon RX 470. A Radeon RX 470 or GeForce GTX 970 would also be correct, although the latter would also be somewhat more powerful.
• DirectX 12.
• 100 GB free space.

Mortal Kombat 1 Recommended Requirements

• Windows 10 64-bit as the operating system.
• Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (six-core) processor. Another equivalence error, since the AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, the correct one would be the Ryzen 5 3500, which has 6 cores and 6 threads like the Core i5-8400.
• 8 GB of RAM.
• Graphics card GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT or Intel Arc A770. There are no major bugs here, but the equivalence on the AMD side is not quite set up well. The closest to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti would be the Radeon RX 6600 XT.
• DirectX 12.
• 100 GB free space.

The launch of Mortal Kombat 1 will take place on September 19, and as I said, it’s coming to PC as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X-Series S. It’s already available for pre-order on Steam, where it’s listed with a price €69.99, meaning the franchise has also jumped on the bandwagon of A-game price hikes.
