Warner Bros. ignores PC players, drops Windows support for Mortal Kombat X

Shown here: Owners of the PC version of Mortal Kombat X

While versions of many Mortal Kombat games have come to the PC over the years, the series has always seemed console-focused. Mortal Kombat publisher Warner Bros. has shown just how extreme that console focus is this week, confirming that PC players will not be able to buy future DLC for last year's Mortal Kombat X.

PC players began to suspect the worst earlier this week when sign-ups for an "Enhanced Online Beta" version of the game didn't list the PC as a platform option. Then, yesterday, WB announced that Mortal Kombat XL—an expanded edition of the game that includes all current DLC and the upcoming "Kombat Pack 2"—would only be coming to the Xbox One and PS4.

NetherRealm Community Manager Tyler Lansdown confirmed later in the day that PC players wouldn't even be able to buy that DLC à la carte. "Mortal Kombat XL and 'Kombat Pack 2' will [be] available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only," he wrote on the TestYourMight forums.
