Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Adds Krossplay In New Update

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has received a fresh update, and the big headline is one fans were waiting for when the package first arrived last October: cross-platform online play. Digital Eclipse has now added Krossplay, giving the classic fighting collection a broader online pool for matches.

In Mortal Kombat language, Krossplay means players can fight online across different platforms. So if you are playing on Switch and a friend is on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, the update is designed to let those matches happen without everyone needing to own the same version. For a retro collection built around competitive classics, that is a welcome modern touch.

One Switch Limitation

There is one note for Nintendo players. Due to technical limits, Mortal Kombat Trilogy does not support online Krossplay matches when it is being played on original Switch consoles. The rest of the update still brings useful online improvements, but that specific game-and-system pairing has a boundary players should know about before setting up a match.

2-On-2 Kombat Goes Online

Beyond Krossplay, the update also expands 2-on-2 Kombat Online play across multiple games included in the Kollection. That gives players another way to revisit the old-school arcade feel with friends and rivals, while still using online features that make sense for modern play.

Switch 2 players also get a new VRR setting in handheld mode. When the system VRR option is off, which is the default, the games render at their native frame rate. The display being used then decides the frame rate players actually see, usually 60 Hz. Digital Eclipse notes that this can give a more accurate presentation, which some players may prefer.

Turning VRR on may also make input latency feel better if your hardware supports it. The update leaves that choice in the player's hands, which is the right fit for a collection where timing, feel, and presentation all matter. Alongside those headline features, Digital Eclipse has fixed the online connection strength indicator, stopped Kombat Kard replays from disappearing, and restored some missing localised text.
