Mortal Kombat 1 has sold more than three million copies since its launch in September 2023. Warner Bros. itself reiterated this during an interview granted to Variety, in which they spoke about the company’s videogame ambitions. The data is the same as already revealed in November 2023. It has probably not been updated. Mortal Kombat 1 sales have been extremely low in recent months.

Good sales or not

The text says that Mortal Kombat 1 was one of the driving forces of the year in terms of revenues, even if the distance from the sales of Mortal Kombat 11 stands out, which exceeded 15 million units. It’s difficult to say whether this is a satisfactory result for Warner Bros. or whether more was expected from the new NetherRealms title.

Unfortunately, the data has not been developed in any way, so we don’t know on which platforms it sold more and on which less. In times gone by, three million copies would have been considered very good, but given the current development costs of a triple-A game, we can’t take success for granted.

In the same interview, the sales of Hogwarts Legacy were revealed, significantly higher than those of Mortal Kombat, and there was talk of Superman, who will not have his own video game despite the arrival of a new film.
