Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 rebooted the franchise on StreamerHouse in 2023, drawing 236 peak viewers for NetherRealm's second timeline reset. Released September 19th for $70 across current-gen platforms, the game introduced Kameo Fighters—assist characters chosen separately from your main fighter, adding strategic depth to matches. StreamerHouse appreciated the "smart reboot" that overhauled the timeline again after 2011's successful reset, though the Switch version looked "PS3-era" according to critics who roasted the $70 price tag for muddy visuals. The game sold 3 million units by January 2024, climbing to 4 million by August and ranking eighth in US 2023 sales. While GamesRadar awarded 5/5 for fantastic combat and excellent game modes, Mercury News gave just 2.5/4, noting it fell behind Street Fighter 6. StreamerHouse viewers witnessed the series' continued dominance despite mixed reception, with cross-play and rollback netcode delivering smooth online fights even when controversy around voice acting (Megan Fox as Nitara) created community friction.
