The Mortal Kombat 11 May 24 update patch notes are finally here and bring some highly requested features to the game. However, this is only for the Mortal Kombat 11 PC version. This update has some small bug fixes but it also adds the option to make the frame rate higher in some scenarios.
UPDATE: If you are looking for the May 28 MK11 patch notes, you can find those here.
Mortal Kombat 11 May 24 Update Patch Notes | Higher Fatal Blow and Krushing Blow frame rate
Modders were able to mod in the ability to play the game’s Fatal Blows, cinematics, intros, victory screens, the Krypt, and Krushing Blows at 60 frames per second. Today, the studio added that feature a more official capacity to the MK11 PC version as now players will be able to go in and turn on a 60 frames per second mode. It is located in the options and is on by default.
However, the Krypt is a separate option and NetherRealm only recommends players do that if they have a beefy rig. This is probably because of how taxing the Krypt is, as evidenced by how much fog is in the Switch version.
NetherRealm had previously stated that these parts of the game played at 30 frames per second because of the detail needed in the close ups. But the lack of an option for PC players was always a bit peculiar, given how some rigs would be able to run those parts at 60 frames and still have said detail.
The team has often caught flak for the PC versions of its games. Mortal Kombat X was quite broken at launch and the DLC often took months to get to the platform. Injustice 2 didn’t even come to PC until the following year.
