A new Mortal Kombat 11 patch has been rolled out for both PC and the Nintendo Switch, and we’ve got you covered with the official release notes.
The patch already arrived for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last week, but as the Switch and PC ports are being handled by different studios, patches for both platforms take longer to arrive. Luckily, the latest MK11 update is out now for the Switch and PC, and we’ve included the release notes for this patch down below. Most of the PC changes also apply to the Switch version.
Changes include AI & character move list improvements, mouse improvements, online desync fixes and much more.
