📋 About This Mod
This mod is created for saving disk space, primarily for those who play on small SSDs or HDDs, steam deck or other portable consoles. In general, where every gigabyte is important.
The switch version uses 720p 30fps videos, unlike the steam version witch uses 1080p 30 fps or 4k via DLC.
If you value free space over bloated videos, then this mod is for you.
Instead of 141 gigabytes after applying this mod the game folder now takes up 119 gigabytes.
Installation:
Backup your Movies folder in MK12/Content/Movies, in case you decide to revert back.
Download and unzip MK1. Movies from the Switch Version (part 1).zip and MK1. Movies from the Switch Version (part 2).zip to the root game folder, with overwrite.
Example: C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mortal Kombat 1

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive space saver: frees up over 21 GB, which is huge for SSD users.
- Simple concept: just swap the movies folder, no gameplay changes.
- Uses official Switch footage, so quality is consistent with that version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 5 endorsements and 258 downloads, so it's not widely tested.
- Last updated April 2026, but no guarantee it works with future game patches.
- 720p cutscenes will look noticeably softer on 1080p or 4K displays.
For players with limited SSD space who want to keep the full game experience without the massive video files. Also for those who don't mind lower resolution cutscenes in exchange for a smaller install. Skip if you have plenty of storage and want the highest quality visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original movies folder before replacing it, so you can revert if needed.
- Make sure you have enough free space to extract the mod files before deleting the originals.
- If the game updates, check if the mod still works; you may need to reapply it.
