The Mortal Kombat 11 October update patch notes finally bring the smaller console and PC to (nearly) complete feature parity to their PS4 and Xbox One siblings. This update has almost all of the same updates as that patch: third competitive variations, The Terminator, balance changes, new towers, and more. However, there is also a feature that is specific to the Switch version. The PC patch also does generally the same thing and also has some specific features for the PC.
Mortal Kombat 11 Switch October Update Patch Notes | New variations, The Terminator, GameCube controller vibration, and more
As was previously stated, this update brings the same changes from the PS4 and Xbox One patch that came out last week. You can read more about those changes in detail here. But basically, the roster saw some general balance changes that also helped welcome in the third tournament variations.
ALSO: Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack | Release date and characters
But there are some specific Switch additions. For example, the GameCube controllers now vibrate when you use them for this game. So just in case you have one GameCube controller around, it’ll now vibrate when you use it with MK11. That appears to be the only change that is platform specific to the Switch.
Mortal Kombat 11 PC October Update Patch Notes | New variations, The Terminator, PC fixes, and more
The MK11 PC update patch notes contain the same big things — variations, The Terminator, balance changes, and more — but also have some specific things for the PC players. It now better supports 21:9 screen resolution and subtitles for 1366 by 768 screen resolution. There were also small changes to particle buffers (for better performance), localization, and vague issues with mouse and keyboard. Other than that, they are the same notes.
