The final major release of Xbox Game Pass this year was Mortal Kombat 1, which coincided with the removal of Mortal Kombat 11 from the service - a game that felt like it'd been there forever.

Mortal Kombat 1 has arguably had more of a turbulent history though, with fans notably expressing their disappointment when the "Definitive Edition" was released earlier this year and new content essentially came to an end.

Nevertheless, MK1 has impressive reviews on Metacritic, and we gave it an "Excellent" 9/10 back at launch:

Indeed, it seems most of the issues with Mortal Kombat 1 cropped up after it first released in 2023, and we noted in 2024 following the "Khaos Reigns" expansion launch that we were pretty disappointed by how short it was.

You don't get access to any expansions on Xbox Game Pass anyway, though — it's just the base game. And with that in mind, putting any post-launch turbulence to the side, we reckon most people are having a ton of fun with it!
