Mortal Kombat X patch promises performance progress

Another Mortal Kombat X patch has launched, promising online stability, performance increases, a free costume, and more graphical options.

For some people, the most important news will be that this patch includes the free Klassic Sub-Zero costume. Or kostume.

For most, though, I’d imagine that the promises of crash fixes, performance increases, and online stability are probably a bit more important. It also promises extra graphical options, which will hopefully be a nice little touch, as well as a bunch of fixes to more specific little bugs. And, for a select few others with the Kombat Pack, the early access to Jason Voorhees is probably also SUPER IMPORTANT.

The full list of fixes can be seen below. Hopefully the performance increases and fixes will turn Mortal Kombat X into a game that’s worth a lot more consideration on PC.
