NetherRealm Studios, the creators of Mortal Kombat 1, have officially unveiled the game’s hardware requirements. Contrary to many expectations, running this highly anticipated game doesn’t demand a top-of-the-range gaming rig. However, it does require a significant amount of free disk space.
Space and Specification Requirements
The latest entry in this popular fighting game franchise requires up to 100GB of storage, a sizable but not uncommon requirement for modern titles.
In a more user-friendly fashion, the rest of the game’s hardware requirements are considerably less daunting. Even for those aiming to play on low graphical settings, only 8GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 980 graphics card will be required.
The recommended hardware specifications are also quite reasonable. Once again, the same 8GB of RAM is enough, but an upgrade to a more powerful GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card will enhance the gaming experience.
