Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Balance Update 5/13 Patch Notes

The 5/13 update has arrived for Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. This patch is different from most other patches, as it actually doesn’t require you to download anything to your game specifically. Instead, it’s a balancing update for a number of the characters that will go into effect as soon as you connect your game to the internet. Here’s everything new with Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate’s balance patch for 5/13.

This patch focuses on balancing seven different characters, though some have more changes than others. The interesting thing here is that all but one of them were either DLC or a pre-order bonus for the original game, as Cetrion is the only character that was in the base Mortal Kombat 11. Shao Kahn, which was a pre-order bonus and later sold as DLC and included in Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, has the most changes here, so make sure to check out what all has changed this time around.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Stadia, but this balance update is only available on PlayStation and Xbox platforms for now at least. For more information regarding this patch, visit the Mortal Kombat Games Support site.
