Not only did Netherrealm’s Mortal Kombat 11 beat out Days Gone for top spot on the PlayStation 4 digital sales chart, the fighter also staked the number one spot on the NPD Group sales charts for the month of April.
True, Bend Studios’ Days Gone is a PS4 exclusive, but you can’t ignore the fact that Mortal Kombat 11 was the highest-selling game of the month on every single platform that it released for (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch), and is the first third-party game to lead sales for the Switch since 2017.
Furthermore, Mortal Kombat 11 is now the second best-selling game of the year, trailing only Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts III.
All that being said, Days Gone wasn’t slouching, as it took second place on the charts (compared to the UK, where it grabbed the top spot). Activision’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice still hung around the top 10, grabbing the seventh spot. Riding on the upcoming Borderlands 3 hype, Gearbox’s Borderlands remaster landed in 20th place.
