The system requirements for the game Mortal Kombat 1 indicate that an additional 100 GB of free space on the hard disk is required for installation

Recently, the company NetherRealm made an official announcement about the upcoming release of Mortal Kombat 1 in September. This new game will serve as both a reboot and a continuation of the beloved series. Currently, the game is available on the Steam platform, where the system requirements are specified.

The technical requirements are not overly demanding: a mere 8 GB of RAM is sufficient, and even the recommended requirements mention GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics cards. Fighting games typically aim for a smooth frame rate of 60 frames per second, so they usually do not require high resources. It's worth noting that installing Mortal Kombat 1 will require 100 GB of free space on the hard drive. This further confirms the trend of games with a size of 100 GB.

The installation sizes of games have significantly changed over time. Just ten years ago, Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition took up only 20 GB. Frankly speaking, Mortal Kombat 11 also occupied a similar amount of disk space, primarily due to its 4K cinematic scenes. It can be assumed that cosmetic elements also take up a considerable amount of space.

Although the specific resolution or frame rate supported by the game is not specified, the system requirements are presented for the next installment in the NetherRealm fighting series, where characters continue to battle even after having all their bones broken.
