However, despite the games boasting an intricate story, many fans will simply want to know how to play with their pals.
Many will remember Mortal Kombat from the days of playing in arcades. However, to play with friends these days, you’re most likely going to need to play online. So, here is everything you need to know about the online requirements to play Mortal Kombat 1.
