However, Nintendo ADR's (OTC: NTDOY) Switch users won't initially have this functionality, the studio revealed during a recent livestream.

Additionally, a Wi-Fi filter is in the works, allowing players to decline matches based on opponents' internet connections. This update aims to enhance the gaming experience by preventing potentially laggy matches.

Patch notes for an upcoming update are imminent, promising broader quality-of-life improvements and character tweaks, including adjustments to Kano, Sonya Blade, and Kung Lao. Community Manager Tyler Lansdown assured players of positive changes enhancing the overall gameplay.

The livestream focused on the forthcoming DLC character, Quan Chi, providing insights into his moves, visuals, and fatalities.

Early Access buyers can access Quan Chi from Dec. 14, while others will gain access from Dec. 21. However, no specific release date for cross-play or additional features beyond Quan Chi's introduction was disclosed during the event.
