You can get the first Mortal Kombat movie for free, but you'll have to use Bing

Polygon RSS Feed✍ Tomas Franzese⏱ 2 min read(4 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie is available for free through a Bing and Microsoft Rewards promotion for Mortal Kombat 2

To celebrate Mortal Kombat 2's arrival in theaters, Warner Bros. and Microsoft are giving its 2021 predecessor away for free. There's just one downside: you'll have to use Bing for seven days straight to earn it.

The 2021 Mortal Kombat film is at the center of the latest Microsoft Rewards promotion. People can complete a "punch card" of tasks related to searching for information about the Mortal Kombat franchise and get the movie for free. Below, you can see the full list of tasks you have to do in order to get a free digital copy of Mortal Kombat:

  1. Watch the latest trailer for Mortal Kombat 2
  2. Download a Mortal Kombat 2 Bing wallpaper
  3. Visit the Xbox Store page for Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition
  4. Check out showtimes for Mortal Kombat 2 on Fandango
  5. Go to the Spotify page for Mortal Kombat 2's soundtrack
  6. Complete a search on Bing across seven separate days

The first five tasks are very easy to accomplish. Simply clicking on the links on the promotional Microsoft Rewards page will complete them in a matter of minutes. The Bing searches are the biggest time sink, as you have to wait 24 hours between searches for them to count.

Also, nobody likes Bing. I certainly hadn't used Bing in years before starting this process to get Mortal Kombat for free. Thankfully, you still have quite a bit of time left on this promotion, as it will run until June 30.

If you can get over the annoyance of having to use a much-hated search engine, though, this is an easy way to obtain an entertaining action flick. I enjoy the new Mortal Kombat films because they embrace their campiness and don't try to punch above their weight. They deliver the over-the-top action and entertaining fatalities I'd expect from a Mortal Kombat film adaptation, and that's good enough for me.

If you don't care about owning Mortal Kombat and just want to watch it before seeing its sequel in theaters, then you should know it's also available to stream on HBO Max.

Ninja Gaiden III, Ikari Warriors, And R.C. Pro-Am II Join Nintendo Switch Online Classics Library

!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/09/02/3b1a8ce0/ninja-gaiden-III-swich-online.jpg.webp) The NES library of the Nintendo Switch Online Classics has three new titles: Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, Ikari Warriors, and R.C. Pro-Am II. Each title is available now to subscribers. Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom was released in 1991 as the final NES entry for the series. Its inclusion means the entire classic Ninja Gaiden trilogy is now available to Switch Online subscribers. The same is true of the R.C. Pro-Am racing series, with its 1992 sequel now joining the original (which has been available on Switch Online since February 2024). The run-and-gun action game Ikari Warriors is the oldest of today's additions, launching in arcades in 1986 before being ported to NES in the U.S. in 1987. Ikari Warriors is historically significant as one of the highest-grossing arcade games of its time and helped developer/publisher SNK break through in the West.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Just Got A Surprise Free Update With 8-Player Split-Screen🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platform

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Just Got A Surprise Free Update With 8-Player Split-Screen

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe(https://www.gamespot.com/games/mario-kart-8/) has been Nintendo's golden goose for several years, as it's the company's best-selling Switch game of all time(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/best-selling-nintendo-switch-games-of-all-time/2900-5070/) and has received various updates over the years, becoming a feature-packed experience. Even with Mario Kart World aiming to usurp its position, Nintendo isn't done dropping new content into Mario Kart 8 yet, as the game just received a new eight-player split-screen mode out of nowhere on Switch 2. It's free to download, allows for up to eight players to share the screen locally, and it looks wild in action. Alongside the new mode that segments your TV like a slab of chocolate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Version 4.0.0 also adds several more improvements that take advantage of the increased horsepower on Switch 2. In a nutshell, you're getting sharper graphics, CameraPlay support, and shorter load times in addition to smaller quality-of-life tweaks under the hood of the popular kart-racing game. Even player speed has been increased by a whopping coin--whatever that means. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/2094968553728274749 But the expanded local split-screen is the real star of the show here, as not only can you strain your eyes while playing on TV, but you can also make your local optometrist happy by watching all those races unfold in handheld mode on the Switch 2. Considering just how much of an intensive load it is to render eight sessions in real time, the new multiplayer mode is a technical marvel to watch. This will likely keep Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at the top of the Nintendo food chain for a while yet. Mario Kart World has its charm, but as fans have pointed out, the anemic amount of content(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/surprise-mario-kart-world-update-ends-a-drought-of-new-content/) added since its launch last year has made it hard to root for. That drought might be coming to a temporary end, as with a rumored Nintendo Direct(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-september-10-nintendo-direct-is-looking-likely-thanks-to-just-dance/) supposedly arriving later this month, players are expecting Mario Kart World to get some sort of an update. If you're looking to grab it, a new Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/two-new-switch-2-bundles-announced-just-before-price-hike/) ($550) launches in late September--albeit for $50 when compared to the original launch bundle.

You Can Watch A Cow Play Eve Online Right Now🎮 Multi-platform

You Can Watch A Cow Play Eve Online Right Now

Earlier this summer, Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games) released an update to its popular online spacefaring MMO called Cradle of War, which the community immediately abbreviated to "CoW." This shorthand apparently sparked a few ideas inside Fenris, and now an actual cow is livestreaming an Eve Online session(https://www.twitch.tv/fenriscreations) from Iceland. The cow, whose name is Valva and username is FC CapitalCowPilot, is manning a mining ship on a deep space mining operation. The team at Fenris Creations fitted its pen with "cow-proof" buttons, which when stepped on will perform certain in-game actions, while a voiceover host delivers cow facts to viewers of the livestream. https://bsky.app/profile/lotrlore.bsky.social/post/3muk2ibt4zk25 As of this writing, over 200 players have joined CapitalCowPilot's mining expedition, with over 4000 viewers watching along on Twitch as the cow moves around its pen. Fenris Creations has announced some community goals which can be unlocked during the stream, including new skins for ships and new updates for the Cradle of War expansion. The stream will run "for roughly 4 to 6 hours," as Fenris admits that it's "on the cow's time, she's not on ours." Valva has made quite an impression on the stream's chat, with some users demanding that the cow be left alone(https://bsky.app/profile/lotrlore.bsky.social/post/3muk24h3hwc25) while on its mining mission. The Cradle of War expansion's non-bovine additions include time-limited Military Campaigns, which let players complete tasks in order to advance their empire's goals, and a new area called Exordium specifically built to help onboard new players.
