What is Mortal Kombat XL?

Mortal Kombat XL is the expanded edition of Mortal Kombat X, not a separate mainline game. It bundles the base game with extra downloadable content, including additional characters and skin packs, and was released as a fuller “complete” version of MKX.

Latest context

Older news coverage shows MKXL receiving balance patches after launch, but it is now mainly of interest as the complete edition of Mortal Kombat X rather than a new standalone release.

Bottom line: Mortal Kombat XL is Mortal Kombat X plus extra content—a more complete edition, not a brand-new game.
