According to an email received by Joystiq, gamers will need to pay to play online.
Online passes are nothing new as THQ and EA has implemented them on their games. It’s a feature that requires gamers to enter an online code first before they’re able to play online. This means if you buy a game second-hand, you will have to fork out extra money to play online.
Here’s what was stated in the email:
Mortal Kombat, available on April 19 for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, includes a one-time-use registration code that gives players access to all online modes in the game. Players who do not have a code will get a free two-day trial of the online play and then be able to purchase the online modes for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and $9.99 on the PlayStation Network.
