How do I identify which platform someone is playing on from the Leaderboard or in Versus?
If you are playing against an opponent on a different platform in Online Kasual matchmaking, Online Rooms or on the Kasual Leaderboards, this will be indicated by a Krossplay icon (two crossed arrows) on their Kombat Kard, while players on the same platform as you will have an icon for that specific platform.

You can view your Kombat Kard from the main menu and go to [Kareer Stats > Krossplay Players Met] to see a history of the players you’ve competed against. If you have reason to believe that an opponent violated the terms of service you, can report them by highlighting their name and pressing the Report Player button. When you report a player, you can select a report reason and enter text about why you are reporting the player. Please note, while all reports are reviewed and investigated, we will not be able to discuss disciplinary actions taken against other player profiles.
