Mortal Kombat 11 has sold more than 12m copies, Warner Bros. Games has announced.
The gory fighting game hit 8m copies sold in October.
To put the 12m sales figure into context, Mortal Kombat X, which came out in April 2015, was in April 2019 NetherRealm's best-selling game with almost 11m copies sold.
Total Mortal Kombat franchise sales are now 73m on console, the publisher said in a note to press issued this afternoon.

The RTX 2070 Super is the new high-end graphics card to get, boasting a level of graphics performance that outstrips anything from AMD - apart from perhaps the outgoing Radeon 7 - at a rather reasonable price: £479/$499/€529. That's the same sum as the original RTX 2070 Founders Edition released in October last year, so we're seeing a considerable upgrade in value after less than twelve months. If you're considering the card or one of its competitors, you'll need to know how it performs - so that's where these benchmarks come into play.

The Wii U GamePad has been reverse-engineered by the developers behind the Dolphin GameCube/Wii emulator, with the controller's functions completely simulated on PC. When we heard the news on Twitter, we contacted developer Pierre Bourdon to find out more. In hacking the GamePad, we reasoned that the developers would have extensive information on how Nintendo's innovative controller actually works.

Here's the deal. There's this guy - fairly normal chap, goes by the name of Johnny Garland, deeply androgynous in that way which Japanese designers seem to think is hot (as distinct from merely confusing). He's on an adventure of some description; the adventure doesn't matter right now. What does matter is the people he's with.
His sidekick, the female lead of this piece, is a Native American who keeps transforming into powerful native spirits - but she's the least of his worries.

Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike turns 20 tomorrow, 12th May, but since it is tomorrow, 12th May in Japan, where it first launched in arcades, it seems appropriate to now remember why it's considered one of - if not the - greatest fighting games of all time.
Third Strike is the third and final and unquestionably best iteration of Street Fighter 3. 3rd Strike was notable for being complex, with tricky systems and, well, a lot going on for a Street Fighter game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War console players are turning off crossplay to try to escape PC cheaters - in the beta.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War went into beta across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this week, with crossplay enabled. And already cheaters have been spotted ruining the game for others - despite progress not carrying over from the beta into the full release.
Redditor madzuk took to the Black Ops Cold War sub to post a play of the game clip showing a player quite obviously using an aimbot to down multiple enemies within the blink of an eye.
