Guest Players in Mortal Kombat 1: No Customization for Player 2's Cosmetics

Warner Bros. has confirmed that in Mortal Kombat 1, player 2 is intentionally unable to customize their cosmetics such as gears and palettes when playing offline matches as a guest. This restriction can be bypassed by logging in with a separate account, but it requires playing through certain modes and potentially paying multiple times on a single console. However, characters and Kameos can still be accessed by all players once unlocked or purchased. This restriction has been present in NetherRealm Studios games since Injustice 2 and is unlikely to change.

"Mortal Kombat 1 Responds to Halloween DLC Backlash with Free Fatalities"

After facing backlash for expensive Halloween microtransactions in Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios has announced that players who purchased the pricey Halloween fatality will receive two additional fatalities for free.

Fans criticized the game's monetization efforts, calling them "greedy business practices."
