Minimum Mortal Kombat 1 PC Requirements

CPU (Central Processing Unit)	Intel i5 6600 / AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Ryzen 5 2600
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 / AMD Radeon RX 470 / Intel Arc A750
RAM (System Memory)	8 GB
Storage	100 GB available space needed for install
Operating System	Windows 10 64-bit

To run this game at a minimum, these are the requirements given, and it won’t take the beefiest or newest computer in the world to meet them. Of course, you may not be able to turn up the graphics settings very high at just the minimum needed to run the game, and you may not see super high framerates.

Editor’s Pick for Minimum Requirements

This version of our Nebula model PC, available on our website, meets the minimum Mortal Kombat 1 PC requirements, and exceeds them moderately, especially for the GPU. We think that you’ll be able to play Mortal Kombat 1 on this machine. There aren’t performance estimates given on the Steam store page to explain what you can expect to see at minimum specs.

Recommended Mortal Kombat 1 PC Requirements

CPU (Central Processing Unit)	Intel i5 8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A770
RAM (System Memory)	8 GB
Storage	100 GB available space needed for install
Operating System	Windows 10/11 64-bit

For better performance and the ability to push your graphics settings higher, you’ll want to at least meet or exceed the recommended PC requirements, which requires a little more power. Older generation hardware will do, but it will need to be at least mid or high tier in strength. Interestingly, the recommended requirements don’t call for any additional RAM over the minimum, so this game may not rely as heavily on RAM.

Editor’s Pick for Recommended Requirements

A Blaze 3.0 version currently available in white on our website fits the recommended Mortal Kombat 1 PC requirements, and even outdoes them a bit for CPU and RAM. We estimate that you may be able to achieve a satisfactory experience in Mortal Kombat 1 with this machine. There are no performance estimates for the recommended specs either on the Steam store page.
