But with a few troubleshooting tips, you can get the story unlocked and finally finish the complete Mortal Kombat 11 experience. This guide will walk you through the most common issues and solutions. So get ready to FINISH HIM!
Installation Woes
The number one reason you may see the story mode-locked is because the DLC hasn’t been installed properly. Unlike the base game, the story mode is separate getable content.
- Double-check the add-ons section in the game management menu. Make sure the story mode DLC box is checked.
- There’s also a standard and 4K version of the story mode for different displays. Choose the right one.
- Don’t panic if you see it locked right after installing. It may take time for the full installation to finish.
Patience is key – give it time and check back again after a console restart.
Xbox Specific Fixes
For Xbox Series X/S players, there are a couple of easy fixes to try:
- Head to the add-ons section and install the story mode DLC from there.
- If that doesn’t work, uninstall Mortal Kombat 11 completely and reinstall. This forces all DLC to be freshly installed.
A clean install should unlock the story mode for you Xbox warriors.
Bad Network Connections
Your network settings can also interfere with story mode access.
- Make sure to have an open NAT type on your console.
- If you have a strict NAT, try forwarding the necessary Xbox ports on your router.
- In rare cases, resetting your console and router can fix software issues.
With open network ports, the story mode will be accessible.
Regional Restrictions
Don’t forget Mortal Kombat 11 is banned in some countries like Indonesia and China. If you’re located in these regions, you’ll need a VPN to bypass geographic restrictions and access the story mode.
Offline Options
The good news is the story mode can be played fully offline once installed! The Krypt and Towers of Time require an internet connection, but story mode can be enjoyed offline.
DLC Expansions
The base story mode has 12 engrossing chapters focused on different fighters. This can take 6-10 hours to complete!
Bonus story content has also been added in DLC like Aftermath. If you own the DLC, double check it’s installed so you can experience this extra content.
