TL;DR Mortal Kombat 11 is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
PlayStation
Mortal Kombat 11 is available on both PS4 and PS5. The PS4 version seems to be popular among players due to its competitive scene and active player base [3],
[4:1]. Many users prefer PS4 for fighting games due to its tournament standard and fewer issues compared to other platforms
[4:4].
Xbox
The game is also available on Xbox, and can be played on PC using the Windows Xbox app [5]. Some users prefer Xbox due to personal preference or because it's the only current-gen system they own
[1:1],
[4:2].
Nintendo Switch
Mortal Kombat 11 is available on the Nintendo Switch, which offers portability that many players appreciate [1:4],
[2:7]. However, there are concerns about potential compromises in graphics and controls
[1].
PC
While Mortal Kombat 11 is available on PC, some users have expressed skepticism due to past experiences with bugs and issues on PC ports [2:1],
[4:3]. It's recommended to read PC-specific reviews before deciding on this platform
[4:3].
In summary, Mortal Kombat 11 is accessible across multiple platforms, each offering unique advantages. For competitive play and a robust community, PS4 is often recommended. For portability, the Switch is appealing despite potential compromises. Xbox offers flexibility with PC play via the Windows app, while PC may require careful consideration due to potential technical issues.
I have all 4, but I'm leaning towards the Switch so I can play in bed with my girlfriend, but I'm worried I'm going to lose out on controls/graphics.
PS4 because it’s the only console I have.
PC. Because I prefer PC. Unless the port is shit. Then PS4. Or I'll wait.
^ This
I got ps4 and switch. I have friends on both and i can play on the go
Got it on PS4 after debating between PS4 and switch but I plan on getting it for switch at some point as well down the line. Especially if I find myself playing it a lot. Or there is a decent sale going on.
Or if I see a lot of people I know playing on switch
xbox. my laptop would never be able to run MK unless it was the games like arma and back.
it's also the only current gen system i own.
I appreciate the offer but I'm getting it on Switch. I just can't pass up that portability!��
That is true man fatalities on the go
It’s actually very interesting that more people are going to play on pc than Xbox
I was thinking this, Xbox is just so underpowered unless you have the X
Was gonna say the same haha. I can get it on PC, but was burnt hard on MKX. I have a PS4 now and just gonna stick with that for fighting games.
Yep me too. Bought MKX twice in the end, one for PC and one for PS4
Idk if I'm setting myself up for disappointment but i'm gonna get it for the switch...
Don't say that. I'm happy we're getting the game on Switch period! Especially since this is a mature 3rd game and MK none the less!
Im excited for it but just a little skeptical, just hope it comes out on time or at least without any issues
No surprise PS4 is basically half the fanbase. Has completely dominated this gen.
You know it! I was so excited when I heard it actually got announced for Switch!
Congratulations on the plats! 🙌

^(so i have a pc and ps4 im leaning for ps4 for portability and i know sfv is most popular on ps4 so whats the meta platform)
I play on Xbox because that's the system I like.
It depends on what you're doing, if you were playing tournaments you prolly want it on ps4, but in that case I feel like you'd already know that.
It's such a subjective question as there's no real "meta" about the system besides tournament play and if you aren't entering tournaments that doesn't matter.
I mean there kinda is look at sfv it’s far more popular on PS4 then pc
Ya well I imagine most consoles are going to be more popular than pc when it comes to fighting games since they come from a long history of arcade cabinets, especially sf.
I would personally never get a fighting game on a pc, but it probably won't negatively effect you, again, unless you plan on playing tournaments.
This is such a weird question, that's not really a "meta", it's more a preference.
Yea I’m interested in getting it for PC... what’s everyone’s opinion on the PC version? Should I pick it up for $30? Got $30 in my steam wallet.
I would avoid PC. There always tend to be some annoying bugs on PC counterparts. Could be wrong about MK11. Should read PC specific reviews before deciding.
I would definitely go with the PS4 version over the PC port because of bigger, lasting and more active player base, tournament standard, less issues and bugs, less cheating, no Denuvo Drm and priority for content and game updates.
With NeverRealm Studios the focus and priority is console and the PC port is handled by a separate small third party development team.
I'd guess PS4 is the most competitive since in the past it jad monthly Tournaments for MKX
Alright thanks I’m leaning PS4 mainly cus I’m going on s trip this summer and I wanna take it with me XD
Good idea then!
*can be played on PC with the windows xbox app!

This post has been removed as it is part of a larger sale. Please post the full sale rather than individual items, highlighting some deals such as this one in the post title would be fine. Thank you.
I’ve been playing MK11 for about two months now on the keyboard of my laptop. I’ve been thinking about switching to xbox controller or playstation controller. Idk if it’s easier or harder and if controller is easier, which one should I choose?
I have the game on ps4 and just picked up the ultimate.ate edition for $20 on stadia to play the story and mess around.
I think Playstation is the best bet for you since the d-pad on a Playstation controller is better than Xbox if you use it.
Should I use a Ps4 dualshock or ps5 controller?
Although I’m on Xbox, any fighting game that’s multiplat will always be best on PlayStation. It’s the legacy console, has the biggest player base and that’s where most of the tournaments are held.
yea a lot of ppl commented this. i might get a ds4. i have the money for a ps5 controller but its still expensive
Xbox…from now on, Xbox
a lot of ppl are saying playstation. why is xbox better? (i just wanna hear ur thoughts)
Personally, I use a DS4 for all my fighting games with a couple exceptions (I prefer a fightstick for Soul Calibur, and a GCC for Smash). It’s just what I’m used to and feels more comfortable for me. If you’re used to keyboard and comfortable with it, then I’d say stick to it, but if keyboard isn’t the most natural thing for you to play a fighting game on, then give a standard controller a try.
Someone said that Ps5 controller is nice and comfortable but it’s expensive. I might give the ds4 a try. Keyboard feels pretty good to me but I wanna try a controller and see how it feels. Plus a lot of combos I see don’t translate to keyboard
PlayStation probably has a bigger player base, then Xbox and then PC.
Should I use a Ps4 dualshock or ps5 controller?
i like ps5 controller because its bigger and feels more comfortable to use.
So I’ve been looking at buying this game for a while and I finally decided to buy it. I just can figure out what platform to get it on. I have an Xbox and a switch. I’m leaning towards switch because none of my friends on Xbox have the game, and because I will be able to take it on the go, with the switch version. I’m just wondering, will I be missing out on anything if I get the switch version. I’ve bought the switch version of games before then got the Xbox version and it turns out the switch version was just a watered down version of the actual game. I heard graphic weren’t all that bad on switch, but I’m still skeptical. Also my switch can get very hot sometimes, and I feel like MK11 would make it get very hot. So, what should I do? Thanks!
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to mention I have a PS4 to, I figured it would run just as smoothly as a Xbox. Both are the OG Xbox and PS4.
PS4 for sure
PS4 > Xbox > PC > Youtube > Switch
Switch visually is horrendous. Controlwise the joycons to me are atrocious. And I think only just now did it get the patch to line it up with ps4 and xbox. Many moves were wrong, wrong frame data, some combos wouldnt work outright, etc.
A more accurate ranking:
Xbox One X > PC > PS4 Pro > PS4 > Xbox One > Switch
What are you grading this based on?
I am on player base, content, tournaments, etc.
Xbox hasnt had any tournament or exclusive items I think, and also was a few days if not a week I think behind ps4 on patches. PC only finally just got lined up with ps4/xbox late last week.
I own it for both PS4 and Switch. So, being able to make a direct comparison, I’d say you should hands down go with Xbox. It’s just a superior experience in every way. The graphics are far better even compared to when Switch is docked. Frame rates are way more inconsistent causing you to drop more combos on Switch. But perhaps the most frustrating part is the Switch’s tendency to drop internet connection during pretty much anything you’re doing of importance.
With that said, I don’t regret owning both. Like you, I have way more friends with Switch and it’s great to be able to play with them. I also sit on the subway quite a lot and it’s nice to have for that. But you absolutely need a pro controller. Joy cons are terrible for this game as previously mentioned. At the end of the day, if you can afford both versions, just do that. You can play seriously on Xbox and have your Switch on auto-pilot grinding out towers while you’re playing that. Otherwise, Xbox all the way.
My advice is to just get the game on the system that most of your friends are on. That way you could play with them.
Switch version lags behind on updates, isn't truly portable due to always online nature of MK11, and graphically far behind console/PC.
Xbox and make new friends!
Yeah, I also don’t like playing in handheld mode for to long, and I didn’t realize you have to be online all the time with the game. I think I’m just going to play it safe and get it on Xbox. Thanks for your advice!
Sure, enjoy the game!
Night everyone, i would like to know if i should buy MK 11 .. i know some time passed since the game release, idk if its still played or even worth buying since im new to the series, i just think the game looks cool af but idk if i should do it. PC or XBOX anyways ?Thank you for ur any reply ! Cheers
EDIT 1 - Thank you guys on the help ! Ill probably buy it on XBOX ^^
Yes and id go with the Xbox version over the PC port due to the bigger player base/community, priority for updates and content, less bugs and issues and no hacked leader boards etc.
The PC port is outsourced to a completely separate small third party studio, with NeverRealm the priority is console.
the game is still worth it even months after its release. MK11 is my first fighting game and i enjoy the game a lot i think you will to.
And as a PC player buy the game on Xbox if you can. the PC port is not that bad but the Xbox version is better.
If you're planning to play online or with friends then yes, absolutely. If i were you i'd get it on Xbox, the population is probably bigger there than on PC.
Definitely
Get it on XBox. I bought 9 and 10 on PC. Never again.
So are you weighing getting MK11 vs getting nothing? vs getting a previous MK? vs getting a different fighting game?
Get it, it's fun. Get it, they're over, might as well get the latest one. Get it. Or Skullgirls, but Skullgirls is being played exclusively by people who are on a whole other level.
I was wondering if its better,do you get all characters if you buy it?
I got a lot more enjoyment out of MK11 than MK1
+1
agreed! The kombat felt more fluid and characters more fun to play. Storywise i'd say Mk1 but gameplay wise def mk 11
You will get all DLC characters and most of the DLC skins. So yes, you should definitely buy MK11 U. Any questions?
Thats all i wanted to know thanks
Idk how much it’s going for but Yeah, go ahead. If it’s affordable and doesn’t get in the way of anything you got going then why not. I would still say don’t buy it at full price though. The game is old.
On the plus-side: It’s a fun and pretty easy game and I think you get all the characters + skins with ultimate edition. It was the first fighting game where I learned to play over 5 characters on the roaster. Prob way better if you have friends or family that’ll be willing to play rather than randoms online. They also have a nice casual online mode with towers and co-op “raid” like challenges.
However on the downsides: Game is old and the online experience might be slow from less players. Might also be hard for new players to hop on because now the players who stayed are the ones who REALLY play the game. The co-op raid tower also takes a long time to matchmake because again - people rarely play it.
I personally haven’t been on in a few years so, dunno if it’s gotten better or worse since I left. I used to love playing Rain though. Such a fun character.
Yes, it's the best MK I've played so far. The different play styles will keep you going and there's still an online competitive scene going (with a bunch of Scorpions but that's fine)
I played on my cousins Xbox and i really liked it,I loved Erron Black
I really dig the Character's style. Try Jax next. The guy won't leave you be at all lol
No one can answer this but you
Great Ingenuity, love the continued support despite fan harassment, and glad to see the longevity and popularity of characters grow and spread. A lot less danger though, there are times I feel like I’m watching a Street Fighter story until someone dies. Hope to get back to that someday.
MK1 is trash.
It’s at a down period right now.
It's lost its edge. Far removed from what it was originally conceived as. The modern NRS developers only understand it at face value, and so modern fans only understand it the same way.
Mk11 + mk1 story sucked. I'm sick of all this multi-verse crap. Old-school MK lore is the best. Mk9 + mkx is where it died
