SuperData: Mortal Kombat 11 and Fortnite help digital game sales hit $8.8 billion in April

Mortal Kombat 11 is breaking more than just bones. According to market researcher SuperData, the console versions of the bloody fighting game, along with perennial hit Fortnite, pushed digital game sales to $8.86 billion in April.

That’s a 7% increase from April 2018, when God of War was one of the best-selling games. (While the year-old report originally claimed that digital games earned $9 billion that month, a representative from SuperData said that the company regularly reevaluates their data “based on new information and new methodologies.” The updated forecast for April 2018 is $8.29 billion.)
