Mortal Kombat fans are eagerly awaiting the launch of the next mainline installment. If you’ve been following this franchise over the past decades, you know this next game will be big. Mortal Kombat 1 is a reboot for the franchise, with the narrative taking place after Mortal Kombat 11, allowing NetherRealm Studios to change things up drastically. However, if you’re planning to pick this game up on the PlayStation 5, you might want to ensure you have enough storage space available on your drive.
Thanks to the PlayStation Size X account, we’re given a heads-up on how much storage space we might need to sacrifice for some of the most anticipated upcoming games. This includes NetherRealm Studios’ latestย Mortal Kombatย offering. Today, we’re finding out that PlayStation 5 owners must set aside about 114 GB of storage space. This is for the game version that will launch as early as tomorrow. That is, of course, if you have one of the premium editions of the game purchased.
Otherwise, those who are dealing with the standard edition of Mortal Kombat 1 will have to wait until September 19, 2023, before the game is available. Regardless, those who have pre-ordered a copy of the game can at least get a pre-load of the title beforehand. After all, we’re dealing with over 100 GB of downloaded files, so installing the game ahead of time might be enticing for those who want to play as soon as possible. Starting today, those with the premium editions can pre-load the game for tomorrow’s upcoming release.
Meanwhile, if you secure a standard edition pre-ordered, you can pre-load a copy of Mortal Kombat 1 on September 17, 2023. Furthermore, we know that if you pre-order a copy of the game, you can expect the game to come with Shang Tsung. As mentioned, this is a reboot for the franchise, soย Mortal Kombat 1ย is a perfect opportunity for newcomers to jump into the game. Likewise, veteran fans will get a new timeline, so expect different origin stories and even alliances when this game launches. Recently, NetherRealm Studios dropped the launch trailer for the game, so if you want a quick recap of what to expect when the latestย Mortal Kombatย game launches, you can view the footage right here. Otherwise, get ready for the grand and brutal fighting tournament to begin.ย
