Mortal Kombat X

Mortal Kombat X brought StreamerHouse into NetherRealm's 2015 brutality renaissance, launching April 14th as the fastest-selling entry in franchise history. The game moved 10+ million copies, crushing the 2011 reboot's 5 million and becoming NPD's biggest month ever for Mortal Kombat—second only to Super Smash Bros. Brawl for fighting game launches. StreamerHouse viewers witnessed fatalities cranked to new gore levels, with critics praising controls, gameplay, graphics, story, and characters as potentially the best MK game ever made. The console versions earned critical acclaim, though PC players suffered frequent crashes and slow netcode that marred the experience. By 2019, sales reached 12 million worldwide, cementing MKX as one of the best-selling fighting games of all time. The game proved brutality sells when executed right, with responsive mechanics and snappy animations making every bone-breaking finisher feel visceral. For StreamerHouse, it marked NetherRealm's ascension to fighting game royalty, laying groundwork for MK11's even bigger success four years later.
