Due to the recent outage of the PlayStation Network and the unavailability of the PlayStation Store, a lot of gamers are worried on the possibility of not getting to play online due to the implemented online pass.
Today, the publisher announced that until the PlayStation Store is back, Mortal Kombat on the PS3 will NOT require an online pass. Once the PlayStation Store is back and running this Tuesday, players must redeem or purchase the online pass in order to play the game online.
Due to the recent PSN outage, Mortal Kombat for PS3 will now be playable online without need for the Kombat Pass. This is a temporary solution that will only be available while Playstation Store is unavailable. Once PlayStation Store is back up, users will be able to enter the Kombat Pass code included with Mortal Kombat or purchase a Kombat Pass for $9.99.
If you bought Mortal Kombat used, then you’re lucky as you will have until Tuesday to play the game without purchasing the $9.99 online pass.
