MK1 patch notes: What changed in the new Mortal Kombat update?
What's new?
It's been over a month since the release of Mortal Kombat 1, and if you're like us, you've been mastering the moves and fatalities, and collecting the trophies. It's been a blood-soaked and addictive experience.
Now, with news of a fresh patch, you might be wondering what's changing in Earthrealm. If the gameplay is altered, are we going to have to relearn all those moves? Or is this one a case of new characters and locations?
Before we start panicking, let's take a close look at the new Mortal Kombat 1 patch and see what's really changing.

What changed in the latest MK1 update?
Unfortunately, the full patch notes are yet to be released, but there is an in-game patch list that we can see.
A snap from the game was shared on X by Mortal Kombat news account @thethiny - check out the tweet below:
The patch notes listed are as follows:
- Halloween fatality added to the Premium Store
- Moves can now be pinned to the HUD
- In-game Ping/Connection Indicator can now be enabled in Online Options
- Added ability to mute Voice Chat and Microphone via the Main Menu under the Audio Settings and Pause
- Menu Settings in an online match
- Fixed cases where the yellow notification for new items would not clear
- General gameplay bug fixes
While we don't have the official patch notes, however, some players have noticed a few changes... let's take a look at that.
People have noticed that the Horizontal Kopter Chopper Kameo assist (Cyrax's OP move) has been reconfigured. It now costs a full bar to use, so we won't be able to spam it quite so much. Good news for most, but a shame if we have Cyrax in our corner...
X user @Mitsuownes noticed this, and shared the change in a video. Take a look.
We're sure there are plenty of other changes that aren't shown in the in-game list of patch notes. They will get released eventually, but when they do, where can we find them?
Where are the full MK1 patch notes?
As we've said, the full patch notes will get released eventually. We know this because the official Mortal Kombat page tweeted so:
But where can we find them? When they get released, we reckon the full list of changes will appear on the official website's patch page.
When they are unveiled, we'll be sure to update this page!
