Since 1992 and the release of more than ten games, films and movies, the Mortal Kombat series still exists. The NetherRealm studios have been in charge of this franchise since 2011; they offer a new iteration, more scripted and re-informed the characters. The franchise is familiar to the crossovers and will notably welcome homelander and peacemaker in 2024, or even a Jean-Claude Van Dame skin for Johnny Cage. This game also introduces the principle of Kameos, and characters that seem to provide assistance to the player.

The game is available on September 19th and will be available on all new generation consoles, and also on PC. How many machines are there to keep it running? Here are the minimum and recommended configurations, and our component recommendations if you need to update your machine.

Enough, if you wish to build your gaming PC to A or Z, we went further further and we found out how the following guide was used for you.

The necessary configurations will allow for multiplayer version of Mortal Kombat one on the PC.

As you can see, Mortal Kombat 1 isn’t the most demanding of 2023 games (like Starfield), so you don’t need the strongest components to play it. This is a difficult game, especially since it’s not a closed world RPG.

What components have you chosen to play on your gaming PC?

Cheap setup:

The system is balanced: one thing: one with the same degree of the one that is left of the box.

This game also requires a full 100 GB of free disk space. If you don’t have an SSD installed yet or you fear there’sn’t enough space, we recommend the Samsung Evo 980 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD for 78 euros.
