Mortal Kombat 1 Smashes 6.2 Million Sales, Developers Seeking Fan Feedback

Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, has revealed on social media that Mortal Kombat 1 has sold over 6.2 million units since its release.

Even though the game has no more planned content, NetherRealm Studios aims to refine it as much as possible. The patch released today (8th) exemplifies this effort.

In the sequence of posts where Boon shares this information, he requests fan feedback — specifically whether players prefer DLC characters released as in Mortal Kombat 11 (6, then 3, plus another 3) or like MK1 (6 followed by 6).
