Which Mortal Kombat 1 edition should you get?

The edition that you should go for will depend on the extra content you want from the game, along with the budget and platform that you are playing on. The Kollector’s Edition is not available for PC and the Switch, and will only be up for grabs for those who are using Sony and Microsoft’s latest consoles.

The Standard Edition sells for $69.99 and will include only the base game. Pre-ordering will allow those on consoles to play the early access release.

For an additional $40, players can get the Premium edition, which will have six additional characters along with five new Kameo characters. With this edition, you get early access to all DLC characters.

The Kollector’s edition is the most expensive, going for $249.99. It will offer a physical copy of the game, along with a Liu Kang sculpture and other collectibles.

If you are a fan of the franchise looking for the most from Mortal Kombat 1’s upcoming release, then opt for either the Premium or Kollector’s Edition.

However, if you are a casual player looking to have some fun, the Standard edition will be more up your alley.
