Mortal Kombat X on PS4 Compatible With Older Arcade Sticks

Mortal Kombat X on PS4 Compatible With Older Arcade Sticks

Remember when we reported that Lab Zero did all the work in making drivers for the PS4 that would allow PS3 arcade sticks to work on it? Actually, they put a call out to their fans and had their fans and supporters do the work, but still, Lab Zero found a way to let PS3 sticks work on the PS4, so there is no reason that fighting games shouldn’t allow you to use your old sticks.

Even so, fighting games have come out on the PS4 and, guess what, they aren’t backward compatible. Why? Pride, I guess? You would still have to license the code from Lab Zero, even though they are offering it up for free, which of course puts them in your credits.

Luckily, Netherrealm studios does not have that foolish pride and has licenced the code from Lab Zero. This means that all PS3 arcade sticks will work with the PS4 version of Mortal Kombat X . The Xbox One version will not be so lucky.
