The Mortal Kombat X patch 1.02 is now released and first DLC arrives next week adding improved balance, new skins for Subzero, and other major items where gamers will be glad to find the gameplay brought to another level.

While some games would release half-baked games and just provide patches later on, Mortal Kombat starts with a full game and simply finds ways to enhance it for its users.

NetherRealm Studios is very early with giving players more to the game, with just weeks since the launch of Mortal Kombat X, a patch already becomes available. Patch 1.02 is available for download for PS4 and all other platforms.

So what are the tweaks in this update? Mainly, the actions of certain characters were modified to fix some balancing issues.

The actual notes on the patch released by NetherRealm include general changes when it comes to throws, both regular and command grabs, such that they will no longer connect on a grounded reacting opponent off a counter hit.

The characters Shinnok (Impostor), Subzero (Grandmaster), Takeda (Shirai Ryu), and Takeda (Ronin) were also given their respective adjustments.

For Shinnok, the location of the stolen Goro Stomp can already be controlled location-wise. For Subzero, when a grounded opponent is frozen by the Ice Klone, combos executed will already scale properly.

Shirai Ryu, on the other hand, will always teleport to the other side upon use of the Air Shirai Ryu Port. Lastly, the Ronin now comes with a new move "Quick Kall" which involves quickly returning a dropped blade without performing an attack.

This is not all the good news Mortal Kombat X has for gamers. Patch 1.02 will also reward players with 10,000 Krypt Koins, which are automatically redeemed once the update is downloaded.

The Krypt Koins will come in handy when in the mood for fighter skins, extra fatalities, as well as customization items for one's online profile.

The Mortal Kombat X patch 1.02 is now available and the 1st DLC release details exquisite items and bonus all players will surely love.
