Since Mortal Kombat 1 is a triple-A game with immersive graphics and sound, many players are curious about its file size and PC requirements. Here are the minimum and recommended specs for Mortal Kombat 1 to ensure smooth gameplay on your system.

Bring a reboot of the original, NetherRealm Studio’s Mortal Kombat 1 not only hosts the classic brutal gameplay fans know and love but it also brings a familiar character roster, as well as some surprises.

The game features a cinematic story mode, a revamped fighting system that allows for more fluid and dynamic combat, character-specific abilities, and more. All this coupled with next-gen graphics requires a good PC that can handle everything the game throws at it.

With that said, here are Mortal Kombat 1’s PC requirements, including the game file size and the minimum and recommended specs.
