Dust off your sicks bags, it's time for the most hideously ultraviolent fighter in town to make its comeback. Mortal Kombat 11 comes to PC on April 23rd, 2019, packing rib-cage tearing fatalities and the return of an iconic roster. NetherRealms has done its part and revealed the Mortal Kombat XI PC specs, but can your PC stand its ground?

Mortal Kombat 11 Recommended System Requirements

OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Windows 10 64-bit CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz or AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz

Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz or AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz RAM: 8 GB System Memory

8 GB System Memory GPU RAM: 4 GB Video Memory

4 GB Video Memory GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 570

There's no mention of these being preliminary specs but we do find it a little odd that the recommended Intel Core i3-2100 CPU is actually weaker than the minimum spec Core i5-750. They are exactly the same as the Injustice 2 specs though. A little oversight from NetherRealms, perhaps, but certainly something to keep an eye on once Mortal Kombat 11 launches. None of the processors are particularly high-end though, so anyone with a fairly modern quad-core shouldn't experience any problems with MK11.

For everything else, the Mortal Kombat XI system requirements are basically identical to Injustice 2's system specs. The only notable change is the minimum RAM for Mortal Kombat 11 has been upped from 4GB to 8GB.

You will need a video card with at least 2GB VRAM in order to run MK11, or a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 570 in order to max out Mortal Kombat 11's graphics settings at 1080p screen resolution.

No installation size has been provided yet but we expect Mortal Kombat 11 to require an estimated 60GB available hard drive storage.
