Is Mortal Kombat 1 on Steam Deck a reality?

Fortunately, Steam Deck users are in luck here. The official Steam listing for the game states that it’s playable on the device. The only issue is that there may be small text or UI issues to deal with while playing this fighter.

Unfortunately, if you want to play with your console friends with a Steam Deck online, cross-play won’t be available at launch. However, this feature will come to the game in the future.

Can your PC run this game?

If you want to play Mortal Kombat 1 on your main PC, here are the specs you’ll need to run the game at minimum settings:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-6600 | AMD Ryzen™ 3 3100 or Ryzen™ 5 2600
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce® GTX 980 or AMD Radeon™ RX 470 or Intel® Arc™ A750
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 100 GB available space

100GB is pretty huge for a game on the Steam Deck, so you may want to resort to playing this game on the main desktop or investing in a micro-SD card. Some micro-SD cards actually have 2TB of storage now.
