In June, NetherRealm Studios launched theMortal Kombat 11Kombat League, a ranked online mode that lets players compete against one another, over the course of seasons, to obtain special rewards. The Kombat League centers around best two out of three sets, and a set’s victor wins points toward prestigious titles andexclusiveMK11cosmetics. For some, these rewards provide a reason to continue playingMortal Kombat 11, however, anMK11glitch is currently causing some serious problems for these players.
Commonly referred to as theMortal Kombat 11forfeit glitch, this exploit allows players to stall out matches, which prevents their opponents from moving onto other fights. The options for those that are on the receiving end of theMK11forfeit glitch are either to concede themselves, which is counted as a loss on their Kombat League record, or wait and hope for the exploiter to give up. With some players suggesting that they have been stuck in anMK11forfeit stall for hours, neither option is very appealing.

As for why someone might enact theMortal Kombat 11forfeit stall, the answer is simple: it gives players a chance to turn a loss into a win. For full clarity, some players that are close to a Kombat League loss are choosing to use theMK11forfeit exploit in the hope that the would-be winner will surrender and give the exploiter the victory.
Certainly, players that have been hit by theMortal Kombat 11forfeit exploit are finding it extremely frustrating indeed, and some are suggesting that they will not participate in theMK11Kombat Leagueuntil it has been fixed. At this time, it is not known exactly when such a fix for the glitch will come, but NetherRealm Studios Community Manager Tyler Lansdown has indicated on Twitter that the developer is aware of the problem and is “looking into it.”
Around the launch ofMortal Kombat 11, players did encounter a number ofgame-breakingMK11bugs, but those did not illicit quite the level of frustration that this player-enacted glitch is. That said, the aforementioned bugs were addressed quite promptly by NetherRealm, and it seems likely that the company will get thisMK11forfeit exploit under control in short order as well.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version in development.
