Is MKX region locked on PS4?
I've seen some articles (like this) claiming that if you buy US version of MKX, you will not be able to play with EU friends, because game locks multiplayer for region of origin.
They also claim that executive producer Shaun Himmerick had a tweet at some point which confirmed this, but it's deleted now if ever existed.
Can someone confirm this information? Is US-EU online play possible in MKX?

As an aside, this is probably for the best since the previous games have reported latency issues (MK9, Injustice, etc). I've heard that the latency is enough to affect combos and your timings. So, this is probably for the best even if it's annoying...
Answer 3
Online on MKX is region locked to US or EU depending on which game you buy. It is hard coded into the game only on PS4. The xbox version of mk9 mkx and injustice has no region lock.
