When Dead or Alive 5 Last Round launched a couple of weeks ago, players on Microsoft platforms faced a number of issues, and Team NINJA released a brand new patch over the weekend to correct these problem.

While the update addresses a bug that corrupted save data when certain training stages were played with a handful of languages enabled, the most important of its fixes adds arcade stick compatibility to the Xbox One version.

In addition to the above, the patch also allows players to enter a code (by pressing LB+RT+LT+RT in the Help and Options menu) to unlock content, which should be a boon for those who already lost their saved games.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round’s 1.01A patch is now available on Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Mortal Kombat X Coming to Mobile Devices as Card Battler

Much like its predecessor Injustice: Gods Among Us, the upcoming Mortal Kombat X is set to receive a port that will put a unique form of its gameplay on iOS and Android.

Instead of a straight-up brawler, Mortal Kombat X on mobile devices functions more as a card battler, though the details of how the series’ iconically bloody fights will play out have yet to be revealed.

Aside from the card collecting, however, it was also revealed that this port will connect with Mortal Kombat X on home platforms to unlock content as milestones are met, similar to Injustice.

Mortal Kombat X is scheduled to launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on April 14. The mobile version will also be available sometime that month.
