Ahead of the Mortal Kombat 1 launch in September, NetherRealm and publisher Warner Bros. are allowing players the chance to test out the fighting game.
While players who have pre-ordered the game can participate in the beta testing in August, an online stress test will also be available soon (via Eurogamer).
The NetherRealm FAQ provides more details, and the developer makes it clear that this test is not a beta, just a way “to deliberately stress our online infrastructure and identify potential issues ahead of the game’s launch.”
The specific date for the online stress test hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but we do know it will only be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Warner Bros. Games Account is required to participate in the test — which can be made here — and a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription will not be required to participate in the test. However, the test won’t allow crossplay.
