By ForGeeks A variety of issues with the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 will be fixed, according to series co-creator Ed Boon. The game was released on Tuesday, but players with Premium Edition early access have been questioning the Switch version’s performance.
While the Switch version wasn’t expected to match the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions visually, its graphical decline coupled with performance issues has led some commenters to question why Nintendo players are being asked to pay $70 for a subpar product.
