Mortal Kombat 11 August Switch and PC Update Patch Notes | Nightwolf, balance changes, and more

Remember last week when a Mortal Kombat 11 patch dropped for PS4 and Xbox One and PC and Switch owners were left out in the cold? Well, now a similar update has finally dropped for the Two Neglected Platforms™. This PC and Switch patch is mainly the same as it was on the other two platforms, but it has a few new things for the PC aside from the sweeping balance changes and addition of Nightwolf. So here are the Mortal Kombat 11 Switch and PC update patch notes for the August update.

Mortal Kombat 11 August Switch and PC Update Patch Notes | Nightwolf, balance changes, and more

The MK11 Switch update patch notes don’t have any surprise changes that are specific to the platform. This is odd since they usually have details that pertain to issues that are only on the Switch. You can read the full notes below or in our other guide, but they are the same as every other system. The only slight unique trait is that the color blind modes are only active in 30Hz mode, whereas that specification isn’t on the other systems.

Mortal Kombat 11 August PC Update Patch Notes | The same but with some unique updates

The MK11 PC update patch notes, on the other hand, are more tailored to the PC, but not by much. There are now HDR quality options in video options menu that go from standard, high end, and professional. Some particle buffers have been adjusted to improve performance but that is still vague. Also the game has improved support for ultrawide (21:9) ratio. While not specified, it’s likely that the meters and bars now fit the screen a little better now. It also shouldn’t accidentally lock to 30 FPS after fast forwarding through the A.I. Battles. And now Kenshi’s blindfold model won’t show up on your character before picking up the blindfold when you are in 60 FPS mode. These are all small tweaks but worthy of pointing out.
