Retro Console Mod For Mortal Kombat 11
Mortal Kombat's retro aesthetic was a thing of beauty. It might not look flashy in modern times (for obvious reasons) but players who grew up with the series absolutely adored the simple yet effective look of past titles. While the photorealistic approach of modern titles is very much appreciated, there are bound to be some fans who miss the classic look of old Mortal Kombat titles.

This is where the Retro Console mod comes into the picture. The changes it brings over to the game might be debatable — with the look of the game certainly being rather odd and hard to digest for some — but one can't deny that the game is de-aged quite effectively as a result.

60 FPS And Ultra Wide Screen Support
The gameplay of Mortal Kombat is 60 FPS, which is a blast to witness. However, this doesn't apply to the menu screens and some fatalities, where the game is limited to 30 FPS for what we can only assume was for cinematic purposes. While the intention behind this limitation is understandable, it's still rather odd that there's no option to remove it.
Thankfully, this simple mod takes care of these issues with the greatest of ease. Along with enabling 60 FPS in all of the game's scenes, the mod also adds ultra widescreen support to the game by removing the black bars that would appear otherwise.
How To Install
- Download the assets of this mod.
- Place it in the Binaries/Retail folder with the .exe file.
- Launch the FpsCapRemoverByEndri_v2.0.2.exe file to activate the effects of this mod!
thethiny's Customized Unlocker For MK11
A lot of elements in Mortal Kombat 11 are locked behind various progression points like The Crypt and the Tower of Time. This includes characters, skins, fatalities, and DLC content as well. However, it can take way too long to unlock all the content in the game, which can be rather irritating for completionists who don't want to spend money on meaningless microtransactions.
