This update introduces several enhancements aimed at refreshing the current competitive experience and expanding the community aspect of the game.
The collection now supports cross-platform play. By navigating the online settings menu, you can activate crossplay at any moment, opening the door to matches with players on different systems rather than being confined to your own. This change is part of the latest update delivered by the development team.
The update includes notable changes such as:
- Online 2-on-2 matches are now available in titles that previously limited this mode to offline play, allowing you to bring your ideal team into competitive online battles.
- A selectable variable refresh rate option now offers a closer experience to the original arcade setting.
- Technical fixes address issues like erroneous connection strength displays in online games, disappearing Kombat Kard replays, and absent localized text.
These improvements are significant steps toward cultivating a more engaging online community, ensuring that players have plenty to enjoy beyond the offline modes. However, one limitation remains: due to technical constraints, the Nintendo Switch does not currently support online play for one title in the series, and cross-platform play is unavailable for another. Still, the expanded crossplay option now lets you fully connect and compete with a broader range of players.
