Getting ready for the pulse-pounding combat of Mortal Kombat 1‘s upcoming beta? Well, Xbox Series X|S players are in for a treat, as NetherRealm Studios is granting them an early ticket to the fray. While the PlayStation 5 warriors need to hang on until August 18 to dive in, Xbox players can flex their fighting skills with a three-day head start.
The news traveled from the official Mortal Kombat Twitter account, where the excitement for the beta was palpable. The tweet dropped the insider info:
“Ready your fists! Xbox Series X|S players, you can secure your spot in the beta starting August 15th at 11 a.m. EDT / 10 a.m. CDT / 8 a.m. PDT. For PlayStation 5 champions, the wait is a bit longer—beta downloads open on August 18th at 11 a.m. EDT / 10 a.m. CDT / 8 a.m. PDT.”
It’s crucial to note that although Xbox Series X|S users can get their hands on the beta earlier, everyone has to hold off on actual gameplay until August 18. You won’t find a different tune in the Mortal Kombat FAQ section. Make sure you’ve got enough digital space ready before the beta hits.
Get in the Fight
We can confirm that players on Xbox Series X|S will be able to download the Beta on August 15th at 11 a.m. EDT / 10 a.m. CDT / 8 a.m. PDT. Players on PlayStation 5 will be able to download the Beta when it starts on August 18th at 11 a.m. EDT / 10 a.m. CDT / 8 a.m. PDT.
