Players of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection can now enjoy a smoother gaming experience thanks to a recent hotfix from Digital Eclipse. This update specifically targets the significant input lag that plagued the PlayStation versions, which originally suffered from a staggering 108 milliseconds of latency. For comparison, the PC version only had around 22 ms. The patch is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, with an Xbox release expected shortly. Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 users will need to wait a bit longer, as their fixes are bundled with a larger online lobby update planned for later this month.
Beyond the crucial latency improvements, the developers have also enhanced the online experience. Audio buffer adjustments aim to eliminate disruptive sound glitches, and the connection filter has received fixes to improve match stability. Additional refinements have been applied to the individual games within the collection. These include adding combos to move lists and restoring missing audio from the 32X version of Mortal Kombat 2.
While the initial launch was rocky for many, Digital Eclipse has been quick to respond to player feedback. The team is continuing to work on a more substantial update that will introduce the Online Arcade mode, allowing for public and private lobbies. For now, this hotfix addresses the most pressing technical issues that could be resolved immediately, demonstrating the developer’s commitment to improving the product post-launch.
