How to invite friends in Mortal Kombat 1
In order to invite friends to join you in Mortal Kombat 1, you'll need to visit the Private menu, which can be found in the Versus menu on the main screen. From there, you'll have a couple of game options to choose from. You can decide on whether to go local or online against friends, then decide on a head-to-head in Versus mode or an alternative, like King of the Hill.
Once you select the game mode, the next window will pop up that allows you to invite your friends. This part will differ according to which platform you are playing on, but you'll need to simply follow the prompts, find the profile of your victim - I mean, friend - and invite them to join you. Easy as that, now go virtually bully them.
