Yesterday, Warner Bros announced Mortal Kombat XL for PS4 and Xbox One. This Special Edition of Mortal Kombat X features the base game and all the DLC that has been released so far in one package. However, it appears that this Edition will stay exclusive to consoles as NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros do not have any plans for a PC release.
As NetherRealm Studios said when a fan asked about the possibility of getting the XL Edition (or even the Kombat Pack 2 DLC for MK X).
@sh_aza777 Mortal Kombat XL and Kombat Pack 2 will available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only.

Moreover, it appears that the new netcode that NetherRealm Studios is working on for Mortal Kombat X won’t be available for the PC version. As the official FAQ for Mortal Kombat X Enhanced Online Beta suggests, NetherRealm Studios is looking for existing MKX console players only.
“We are looking for existing MKX console players who have logged at least ONE hour of Online Play. We will be reviewing all candidates who sign up to determine if they meet the requirements.”
And since the development team won’t beta test this new netcode for the PC, we can safely say that this new netcode won’t be coming to our platform. Not that it surprises us to be honest as PC gamers won’t be getting a simple DLC pack like Kombat Pack 2.
In short, it appears that NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros have abandoned the PC version of Mortal Kombat X.

Weird.
We are master race and they are treating us like shjt
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal !!
no surprise. this title doesn’t have Denuvo and Warner likes Denuvo. either way i assume Netherrealms already moved on to Injustice 2 so they ain’t gonna release many DLCs for Mortal Kombat X anyway.
as a PC gamer i am fine with them releasing DLCs and ignoring PC though. i never had any plans to support their DLC non-sense. i just wanted to try out the new generation of MK fighters and that i did. Street Fighter V allows you to obtain all characters for free by playing the game and it has an official Steam controller support, yet some brats are focused on the censorship and gonna judge the product only based on that.
Street Fighter is boring.
not supporting SF for not being a fan is fine. i like both so i rather give more support to the one that treats us better. hopefully Capcom doesn’t disappoint.
Worst Publishers:
1. WB
2. Activision
3. Konami
i swap activision with EA but yeah, pretty much this.
1. WB
2. Activision
3. Konami
4. EA
Strange how WB became the worst publisher in the world just because of 2 crappy PC versions, and Konami because they closed Kojima Productions, while making some of the best ports (Castlevania LoS 2 and MGS V).
I would put Microsoft in the 1 place for obvious reasons, then Ubisoft because they’re releasing crappy PC ports all the time (or you already forgot Unity?), and EA because they deserved to be in the top for all the eternity for what they have done (how much studios they closed?)
I agree it is a bit strange, I’d put EA at the top because they are just c*nts that dont fix their games, dont listen to fan feedback at all and add micro transactions every step of the way. Last FIFA I buy. I kind of like Ubisoft because they brought me Rocksmith and a few other decent games.
yep, nothing can beat EA but man, is there any good triple publisher left ? i can’t name one.
I have to agree that EA needs to be at the top of this list. EA is one of the largest contributors to the conversion of the gaming industry into a giant profit machine.
Microsoft, don’t even get me started on Microsoft. It isn’t even a “I’m a Linux guy so I don’t like Windows” thing. Microsoft has played a dirty in the tech industry since day 1, employing the dirtiest of tricks to get and remain ahead. It is despicable.
Why konami?
See above.
Got it.
What konami has done the last year in terms of choices and business decisions plus stopping with AAA is all you need
Konami recently said that they dediced to continue developing AAA games and that they are hiring for the next MGS game.
Then why silent hill and castlevania are punchina machines?
Why Konami? They gave us the best pc version of MGS5
Ignoring PC for more than a decade, inferior PES PC versions, treating their employees like crap is more than enough to put them in the top 3. MGS V saved them from being in number 2 spot.
Ignoring PC for a decade is par for the course for Japanese publishers. Not a valid reason imo.

I get WB and Konami but why Activision ? Heard they actually did us a favour with not releasing Destiny on PC.
Topkek
Something Activision Blizzard related to WoW you mean?
Nah, activision may not have much, but alteast their pc versions work, if you dont like their game, eg, cod, movie superhero tie ins, you can just not by them. on the oher hand the likes of wb ubisoft and ea are ruining games. Oh and konami is dropping from AAA too.
Where’s ubisoft on that list?
Shhh, he’s a fan of AC series. Ubisoft is love, Ubisoft is life.
I guess the same applies to Mass Effect (EA).
You’re so delusional
EA???
Well, this proves that WB prefers be an incompetent pubisher than actually do their job.
no way this isnt them retaliating against pc gamers for giving them backlash over arkham knight
Or the terrible release of the MKX itself. Likely it’s something they don’t want to drudge up again.
COding in PC cost too much …
no even 1 person teams do it.
I won’t miss it anyway, they probably know that SF5 is coming on PC and no one will bother with their pathetic DLC infested game with terrible net code.
It’s pretty sad when Kof 13’s Netcode is amazing on PC next to MKX… Heck even Guilty Gear Xrd is amazing. Yet MKX? lol it’s garbage. Heck I still play Ultra SFIV online XD. I wonder if dead of alive 5’s netcode on PC is any good I should re install the game to see if it’s better then MKX’s trash.
Yes I think the game itself had good potential just like Batman AK which was a good game destroyed by terrible developer and publisher, same happens to MKX. I don’t know about DOA5, maybe it’s good because they a lot of time to implement it. I hope SF5 comes with good net code because that’s the game I will play for months if not years lol.
Batman was destroyed by the Batmobile forced story play as well I think. And the boss battles felt boring next to Origins.
Arkham knight give WB a hard lesson…
No the last mortal kombat gave them a hard lesson.
Arkham knight pc version controversy,bruh
yes i am going back to show how much they screwed up.
this is no shock I own the game and the online netcode sucks. steam discussions are full of fix the net code. they figure they got their money no reason to improve the PC version any further. and who wants to buy new characters if the net code is garbage just like WB stance on PC gaming they are garbage…
PC will get XXL maybe -_-
So half a MILLION PC gamers dont count (According to Steamspy) for anything, so they fixed all the issues (except netcode) just to drop it now?
I’m guessing it’s because they’re afraid to mess this one up, like they did the last one on PC. Also, once you’ve played one of these games, you’ve played them all.
All of this could had been avoided if they hired a developer with PC experience like QLOC or Nixxes.. If isntead of High Voltagw they had one of the companies in mentioned hired for the pc version of MK10 then it could had been the best version of the game right from the begining and sell more than 1 million instead of half million that it has sold so far.
When you cut corners, you go round in circles. There’s a quote in there somewhere :/

Why because they are cheap and have been since MK9 came out on PC. But hey that’s cool the games net code is trash anyways on PC. I gave up on the game and am looking forward to SF5 without the worry of PC support or having to Pay for Characters…
Its funny I was so looking forward with my friend for this pack on pc cause we play mortal kombat x, but it seems they spit in our face :O at first I thought it was a joke :I reality hits you hard bro
Glad I torrented it but even then it was pretty crap that i didnt even keep it, dont think ill ever buy a game from these publishers.
pc gaming is dead:
no red dead redemption
no midnight club los angeles
no bayonetta
no destiny
no vanquish
no tekken
no final fantasy xv
no kingdom hearts
no virtua fighter 5
no ace combat 7
and now THIS….
it’s time to sell my pc and buy a ps4 🙂
This is bait.
lol, those 10 games killed PC gaming :^). Now excuse me, i’ll still need to play thousands of awesome PC games before switching to consoles :^)
why do you think that the pc isnt getting a AAA title dlc pack?it wasnt announced coming later.i just love to see pc gaming get screwed..lol
pc gaming 1st rate hardware but 3 rate gaming platform…lmao
doenst matter. we still got the best hardware and no amount of games will change that 🙂
Well, it’s not even like it’s a game PC gamers are missing. We still have access to every single thing in this MK XL thing. We can get MK X and all of the DLC packs for probably 60-70% off on any Steam sale. In the end it’s the same thing and probably much cheaper than getting MK XL.
There’s way too many games on PC, anyways, to have the time to play all of them. I’ve got half a dozen games I’ve started but just don’t have the time to finish. At this point the onus is on publishers and devs to offer up the best games to compete for our dollars. Unlike on consoles where they have so few games that consumers have to buy everything just to have SOMETHING to play, the problem on PC is that there’s too much selection. That’s a great problem to have from a consumer standpoint.
On the other hand.. objectively speaking we can’t get Kombat Pack 2 or other newer DLC unless someone manages to somehow mod it in though. Just the already released DLC prior to that that happens to be on Steam.
I don’t see being unable to buy a DLC pack as much of a loss, to be honest with you. lol
for sure. i was just telling that guy it doesnt matter the games we get, its the platform itself thats the best, not the games :p
i still have like 100 games in my backlog but im getting there!
Exactly.
Reposting this tired meme proves nothing.
Guys, I found the 14-year-old.
how many games the ps4 has again? :))
Is this a joke?
LMAO
PRECISELY why I didn’t buy the game. I knew some bull like this would happen. The micro-transactions were a warning sign -_-
Worst publisher:
1. Ubisoft
2. Ubisoft
3. Ubisoft
Below that… whatever you guys want…
Not the first time he did that either. Back when MK4 (which also happened to be the last PC version until MK9) was coming home he said the PC version was even better than the arcade or something. But what really happened is they made a scaled back version that they copied and pasted across the three platforms it came out on (N64, PSX and PC). Ed Boon is full of it always has been.
Well, here’s hoping Killer Instinct is a decent port since … outside MK that’s more up my alley than SF. Apparently we can’t count on Warner Bros. to provide us decent PC versions. Which in all honesty the blame is all on them not the platform. Personally I like “c(k)omplete” or GOTY editions and was looking forward to getting one for MKX but apparently it’s not in the cards. I liked the one for MK9.
Isn’t it Warner’s job to make me want to buy their game and give them money ? How in the world do they think this news will make me want to do that ?
