Can I Run Mortal Kombat 11?
NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019. It is an action game, published by Warner Bros. Games. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Steam gates it behind an age check at 18. At 7 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Over 86 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. It carries 58 achievements. Steam lists support for 12 languages. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Its Metacritic score stands at 82.

Why Mortal Kombat 11 is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Mortal Kombat 11. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Mortal Kombat 11 within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Mortal Kombat 11 scales hard with the hardware you give it. Mortal Kombat 11 needs only 6 GB of video memory. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Mortal Kombat 11?
Mortal Kombat 11 is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 670 or NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 1050 / AMD® Radeon™ HD 7950 or AMD® Radeon™ R9 270, 8 GB RAM, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.7x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.52x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.67x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
