The fight for flawless victory continues, as Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has officially received its first major post-launch update. Developer Digital Eclipse rolled out the new patch for PC players this week, with console versions — including PlayStation, Xbox, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 — set to receive the same improvements soon. This update marks a significant step forward for the ambitious collection, which brings together multiple classic Mortal Kombat titles under one roof for the modern generation.
When Legacy Kollection launched earlier this year, fans praised its authenticity and nostalgic charm but voiced concerns about several technical issues, including inconsistent input response, audio glitches, and matchmaking instability. The new patch directly targets these concerns, refining gameplay and introducing crucial performance optimizations that should make the overall experience more stable and enjoyable.
According to Digital Eclipse, the update focuses heavily on improving online connectivity — a key aspect for players who want to relive competitive Mortal Kombat battles from the arcade era with smoother matchmaking and less latency. The team has implemented better netcode synchronization and revamped server handling to reduce lag and disconnects during online play. Additionally, local play has received minor adjustments to button responsiveness, particularly benefiting players using arcade sticks or third-party controllers.
Beyond performance, the patch enhances several visual and accessibility elements. Screen tearing and occasional frame dips, which were reported on higher resolutions, have been largely eliminated. Subtle UI improvements make character selection menus more intuitive, while font scaling and contrast adjustments improve visibility on smaller or handheld displays — a nod to players anticipating the Switch 2 release.
Another welcome addition is the expansion of gallery content. The update unlocks several new behind-the-scenes features, including early concept art and restored promotional material from the original trilogy’s development years. Fans can now explore classic renders and marketing pieces that haven’t been seen since the early 1990s, offering a deeper look into the franchise’s legacy.
Community feedback played a crucial role in shaping this update. Digital Eclipse has been open about its iterative development approach, inviting players to submit bug reports and suggestions directly through official channels. This transparent communication has helped foster goodwill among fans who appreciate the studio’s dedication to preserving fighting game history while improving it for modern audiences.
With this patch now live on PC and soon on consoles, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is positioned for a more polished future. It demonstrates how modern remasters can balance nostalgia with technical quality — maintaining the brutal intensity of Mortal Kombat while adapting it to evolving standards of play.
As the game’s community grows, it’s clear that Digital Eclipse is committed to ensuring that every fatality lands with precision, every combo feels sharp, and every battle recalls the spirit of the arcade era that started it all. For long-time fans and new players alike, this update reaffirms one thing: Mortal Kombat’s legacy is far from over.
