Can I Run Mortal Kombat X?
NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat X in 2015. It is an action game, published by Warner Bros. Games. The game supports a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Metacritic score stands at 84. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. With more than 39 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Completionists have 73 achievements to work through. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Steam lists support for 8 languages.
