When Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios announced Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate last month, we heard that the game would be offered only through the eShop on Switch. However, it appears that the news may only apply to North America.
Over on Amazon UK, a physical version of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is listed for Switch. The page also clearly states that a cartridge is included.
It’s unclear why Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is digital-only in the states. Fortunately though, Switch being region free makes it possible to play the physical version on any console. You can pre-order or import from Amazon UK here.
