Is Mortal Kombat 1 on Game Pass? The iconic fighting game series reset its timeline with 2023’s Mortal Kombat 1 and, at the time, wowed everyone with some impressive graphics and gameplay.
When you look at the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S generation as a whole, MK1 is going to go down as one of the best fighting games of this era. The introduction of the Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo Fighters system, the new seasonal Invasion mode, and a roster of exciting new, returning, and crossover characters all make it a must-play. But is it also one of the best Xbox Game Pass games? And if not, will it ever hit Microsoft’s subscription service? Here’s what we know.
Is Mortal Kombat 1 on Xbox Game Pass?
No, at the time of writing, Mortal Kombat 1 is not part of the Xbox Game Pass library. For one weekend in March 2024, MK1 was free to access for Game Pass Core and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers as part of Xbox’s Free Play Days initiative. However, this was just a temporary trial.
Currently, the only way Xbox players can play MK1 is to purchase it outright from the Xbox Store. If you’re undecided about whether or not to buy it, check out our MK1 review.
However, while Mortal Kombat 1 isn’t on Game Pass just yet, its predecessor, Mortal Kombat 11, is currently on the service. It joined the library in 2021, two years after its full release. After a similar amount of time, Mortal Kombat 1 could potentially follow suit and be added to Game Pass. But for now, there’s been no mention of bringing MK1 to any subscription services from NetherRealm.

That’s everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat 1 on Game Pass. Alongside its excellent story mode, it’s one of the best multiplayer games of this console generation so far, so we’re hoping it lands in the library at some point in the future.
