Mortal Kombat 1 PC specs are out, and no, you don’t need to rush to buy some high-end products to play the game. 

Warner Bros Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the most anticipated games of 2023. It ranks among the list of elites as the devs have done a fantastic job to take players back in time. Originally, fans predicted the upcoming title to release under the name Mortal Kombat 12, but the franchise stunned them all by calling it a Mortal Kombat 1 reboot. And it’s not only the name that got changed. After all, the franchise announced the entry of two massive comic characters as guests, honoring them in the game. 

Now, with that information out, fans anticipated some news on the specs as they wanted to have everything in place before September 19. But, the franchise dropped a controversial list that was somehow well-received by the community.

While it looks pretty decent for anyone to experience the fatality the game provides, many fans are dumbstruck by the storage requirement of the game. With 100GB required, the game requires nearly the same as that of GTA V, which happens to be an open-world. Graphics indeed is a factor to consider here, but the fans are having a hard time digesting it. And that was indeed the question asked by one of them.

The user asked, “How do they need 100GB drive space? Did they print out the code and assets and scanned them into .bmp files.”
