During the NetherRealm livestream yesterday about Mortal Kombat X, Creative Director Ed Boon confirmed that the PlayStation 4 version of the game will support PlayStation 3 fight sticks.
While we don’t know if every single fight stick will be supported, NetherRealm confirmed that at least two will work: the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition fight stick from 2011 and the Injustice: Gods Among Us fight stick from 2013.
You can thank Lab Zero Games for making this happen, as they have licensed out the driver to NetherRealm:
Excited to finally talk about this: @NetherRealm has licensed @LabZeroGames’ and @cowbs‘ PS3 stick driver for the PS4 version of #MKX !
