Warner Brothers and NetherRealm Studio’s reboot of the original Mortal Kombat comes in various different editions and includes special bonuses in the pricer ones. Here’s a quick rundown of every Mortal Kombat 1 edition alongside their price and pre-order bonus.

From PlayStation to Xbox to PC, Mortal Kombat 1 is available almost everywhere and the developers have released a few editions that come at different prices and with different bonuses so choosing the right one can be difficult.

While the core experience which includes the main story and line-up is the same in every edition, players who are ready to pay more for premium or collector’s edition of the game often get special perks such as early access, exclusive characters, in-game currency, and more.

On that note, here’s what you get in every edition of Mortal Kombat 1 editions including the pre-order bonus.

Mortal Kombat 1 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC in three different editions.

While some editions have more content than others, the pre-order bonuses that players will receive are the same, no matter what edition they buy.
