Mortal Kombat 1 is arriving on the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog starting Tuesday, Aug. 19, allowing players to play the game for free on the PlayStation 5.
Mortal Kombat 1 was released in 2023 and continues the story from Mortal Kombat 11, with Liu Kang now playing a new role in the MK universe: the Fire God. Along with the new era of Mortal Kombat, players are introduced to new variations of classic fighters and interesting new mechanics, such as the Kameos — assist characters who aid players during matches, expanding combos, and other possibilities in combat.
Marvel’s Spider-Man arrives as a part of the Game Catalog additions as well for both the PS4 and PS5, but with a kind of twist. According to the PlayStation Blog, PlayStation 5 users will get the Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered version of the game, while PS4 players will get the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition. Additionally, PlayStation 4 players may gain access to stream the base game of Marvel’s Spider-Man in relevant markets.”
Marvel’s Spider-Man was initially released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4, following a more experienced, mature Peter Parker who is still struggling to balance his heroics with his personal life. However, things grow increasingly dire for the Amazing Web-Head as a new evil descends upon New York City.
