Mortal Kombat online play moving off GameSpy servers to ensure online support continues

Mortal Kombat‘s Facebook page today confirmed that the game’s online play will continue on in the wake of GameSpy’s shutdown.

Whilst GameSpy will shutdown in June, Mortal Kombat‘s online components will move away from the service ahead of time. That means online gameplay will be unaffected.

“We are currently in the process of migrating Mortal Kombat 9 (for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC) from Gamespy’s servers and expect things to go smoothly,” the Facebook page update said. “During the transition, players may experience an interruption of online play and matchmaking and we ask for your patience during this time. Players will not experience interruptions to offline play throughout this process.”

“After May 31, Mortal Kombat 9 for PS Vita will only support ad-hoc multiplayer,” the post added.

We reviewed Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition last year.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
