Now it's very close to the opening of the servers for the Mortal Kombat 1 beta. For the uninitiated, we remind you that the beta can be downloaded by all those who have pre-ordered the game. For this reason, we have decided to create this article, waiting to be able to try the new chapter of the iconic fighting game saga, with everything you need to know for the beta.

The Mortal Kombat 1 beta will begin on Friday, August 18, 2023, at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m. PDT and will run until Monday, August 21, 2023, at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m. PDT extension. According to what was announced by the developers themselves, players will be able to play the beta all the time, without any kind of interruption. So, if you can't wait to get your hands on the final game, this starter is certainly very tasty and will give you an idea of what the game will be like once it hits the market on September 19, 2023.

Mortal Kombat 1 beta arenas

Unfortunately, as you might have guessed, players will only be able to experience a very limited number of arenas during the Mortal Kombat 1 beta. The two arenas where you can try the game and start showing off your skills are The Teahouse and Johnny Cage's Mansion.

Mortal Kombat 1 beta modes

There are two modes in the beta. In addition to being able to test themselves against artificial intelligence in single-player mode (Classic Tower), players will have the opportunity to try out what is the main mode available, ie the 1vs1 in online multiplayer. For this reason, we advise you to start warming up your fingertips to arrive prepared for the starting day of the beta and demonstrate all your potential as virtual wrestlers.

Mortal Kombat 1 beta how to redeem codes

After having focused first on the content part of this Mortal Kombat 1 beta, the time has come to spend a few words on the more technical part. If you don't know how to redeem the beta codes, don't worry: we'll explain how to do it. First of all, a distinction must be made between the digital and physical editions.

If you have pre-ordered the digital edition of the game, you won't have to do anything in particular, as the beta will appear directly in the collection and you will only have to download it. The question, however, is different if you have booked the physical version. In that case, you need to manually redeem the code provided by the seller. To do this, you will need to log into your Warner Bros account and access the beta page. Once that is done. you can enter the code you received and select the correct platform. Only at this point will you receive the code to redeem on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S.

Mortal Kombat 1 beta: do you need a subscription?

The developers have confirmed that in order to take part in the online mode of Mortal Kombat 1, all players must have an active subscription. This means that PlayStation 5 owners will need to subscribe to the PlayStation Plus service, while Xbox Series X|S players will need to subscribe to Xbox Game Live Gold. To access the Classic Tower, on the other hand, there is no need for any type of subscription.

Mortal Kombat 1 beta download weigth

Currently, there is no “official” news regarding the download weight of the beta, but we do know thanks to a PlayStation Game Size account leak that the PlayStation 5 version of the beta will have a weight of 12,705 GB. At this point, it's easy for us to assume that the dimensions of the Xbox Series X|S version will also be similar, perhaps with some minimal variations. The preload is already available, and those who bought the game digitally, as we said earlier, simply need to go to their game library.
