Mortal Kombat 1 — Steam Gift

Mortal Kombat 1 — the legendary fighter rebooted, as a Steam gift

Mortal Kombat 1 isn't the eleventh numbered entry wearing a new name — it's a full reboot of the universe, released by NetherRealm Studios in 2023 under Warner Bros. Games. In the story, fire god Liu Kang rewrites reality and creates a New Era: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, Mileena and Raiden are all here, yet their fates and personalities are rebuilt from the ground up. Even if you've played the whole series, you won't guess how each arc lands. On this page you buy Mortal Kombat 1 as a Steam gift — we set up the gift and our bot delivers it straight to your library.

Two versions are available: the base edition and the full Definitive Edition, which gathers every piece of post-launch content. Below we break down how they differ, how delivery works and what to check before ordering.

The Kameo system — a second hand in every fight

The core mechanical idea in MK1 is Kameo assists. Alongside your main fighter you pick a second character who pops in for a couple of seconds: breaking a combo, extending pressure, setting up an unexpected mix-up or covering your retreat. That turns a familiar duel into a match where you juggle two movesets at once, and the skill ceiling sits noticeably higher than in past entries. The fatalities and brutalities are staged with the studio's trademark obsessiveness — the finishers are more detailed and grislier than ever.

What the base edition gives you

Base Mortal Kombat 1 is a whole game, not a trimmed demo. It includes a cinematic story campaign across a dozen chapters, fights against AI and online, the RPG-flavored Invasions mode and the launch roster together with a set of Kameo characters. That's plenty for both solo play and ranked. The Kombat Packs and the Khaos Reigns story expansion, however, aren't part of the base — if you want everything at once, you want the version below.

Definitive Edition: all the content in one gift

Definitive Edition released on May 14, 2025 and bundles into a single gift everything that came out after launch:

• The full base game Mortal Kombat 1.
• Kombat Pack 1 — six fighters including Omni-Man from Invincible, Homelander from The Boys, Quan Chi, Peacemaker, Ermac and Takeda.
• Kombat Pack 2 — six more: Noob Saibot, Cyrax, Sektor, Ghostface, T-1000 and Conan the Barbarian, plus the Madam Bo Kameo.
• The Khaos Reigns story expansion — a separate cinematic campaign released September 24, 2024, where the Titan Havik drags the New Era toward chaos.
• Cosmetics and earlier bonuses for the characters.

In short, Definitive Edition removes the need to buy the Kombat Packs one by one — the whole roster and both campaigns are already inside the gift.

Modes you sink hundreds of hours into

The campaign is just the entrance. Invasions turns progression into a board-game RPG map: you move across tiles, level up modifiers, collect talents and relics, and fight bosses under altered rules, with the map refreshing each season. Competitive players get the ranked Kombat League and classic endurance towers. Local two-player on one screen is here too — the very thing Mortal Kombat used to gather friends around the TV for. The gift unlocks this whole set right after activation.

How delivery works

What you buy here is a Steam Gift, not a key. At checkout you leave the friend-invite link of your Steam profile and state your account region. The bot adds itself as your friend, sends the gift, and once delivered it removes itself from your friends list — no manual accepting needed. Steam Guard isn't required. You can track the order on the site, and any questions go to the on-site chat — no timing promises, just a real reply.

Region and two conditions for acceptance

Steam will only accept the gift if your account region falls within the chosen lot's coverage — that's why the base version has several regional variants, and you need to take yours. The second condition is mandatory: the game must not already be in the recipient's library. Steam physically won't let a gift land on a title you already own, and that's the single most common reason a gift fails. If the region doesn't match, the gift isn't accepted and its value returns to your site balance — the money doesn't burn. Before ordering, check your region in Steam settings and confirm you don't already have Mortal Kombat 1.

Promo codes, email and registration

You don't need a separate site registration to buy — the order goes through without creating extra profiles. We don't promise standing promos on the gift: if a lot is discounted, that's already in the price, and we won't invent coupons that don't exist. A gift doesn't need a delivery email either — it's handled inside Steam through the bot, while your order details stay in your account on the site.

Is Mortal Kombat 1 worth getting as a gift

A Steam gift is a full copy of the game permanently tied to your account: it won't be revoked, it sits in your library like any purchase, updates and plays online without limits. There are only two things to settle in advance — your account region and not already owning the game. The bot handles the rest, so buying Mortal Kombat 1 as a Steam gift is a simple way to get the whole fighter, with payment from Russia and the CIS.

What else is on Brawl Games

If MK1's brutal duels leave you craving something big and single-player, check out Baldur's Gate 3 — a huge story RPG spanning dozens of hours, where your choices matter more than parry timing. And to avoid committing to one title, a Steam wallet top-up is handy: load the balance and pick where it goes yourself, whether that's Kombat Packs or the next game on your wishlist.
