If you purchased individual DLC, such as the playable character Shao Kahn for example, this content would also carry over to the PS5 version.

Goro's fighting styles, for example, are designed to take advantage of the fact that he has four arms. While a massive battle rages Fire God Liu Kang breaks into Kronika’s vault and eventually defeats her and becomes all-powerful, but the timeline was destroyed during the contest, so the now mortal Raiden agrees to stick with Kang as he is tasked with rebuilding the universe how he sees fit. King Argus had his sons, Taven and Daegon, put into incubation so one day they can be awakened to save the realms from Armageddon by defeating a firespawn known as Blaze.
