Mortal Kombat 1 allows Krossplay and Kross-Progression on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). However, the Nintendo Switch version doesn’t support these features. To use Krossplay, you’ll need a WB Games Account. Unfortunately, Switch players can only connect with other Switch users.

Mortal Kombat 1 crossplay by platform

Platform	Crossplay	Notes
PlayStation 5	Yes	Krossplay is an optional feature on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). It is off by default.
Xbox Series X|S	Yes	Plays with PlayStation 5 and PC players when Krossplay is enabled and a WB Games Account is linked.
PC (Steam)	Yes	Included in the official Krossplay platform list. One third-party report says PC players must pass an in-game performance check before entering the cross-platform pool. That detail has not been officially confirmed.
PC (Epic)	Yes	Included in the official Krossplay platform list alongside Steam.
Nintendo Switch	No	Krossplay and Kross-Progression are not available for the Nintendo Switch version. No plan to add them has been officially announced.
Nintendo Switch 2	Unconfirmed	No native Switch 2 version has been confirmed. In 2025, players who already owned the game on Switch 1 could still play it on Switch 2. The eShop purchase option was blocked at that time. Current Switch 2 crossplay support has not been officially confirmed, and the Switch version's exclusion would presumably apply.
