Perhaps due to the mobile version of the game, Creative Director Ed Boon confirmed on Twitter that Mortal Kombat X has enjoyed the biggest launch in franchise history:
Thank you everyone for making Mortal Kombat X the biggest launch in MK history. You made the game FAR exceed our wildest expectations….!!

He later added that there are “literally millions of players getting online in a really short period of time” on mobile and consoles, resulting in the servers getting hit hard.
If you’re experiencing issues with the servers, or anything else in Mortal Kombat X, Boon said, “We love that so many players want to play MKX and are working (like mad) on all the issues some of you are experiencing! We WILL fix them!”
Boon finished up by saying, “Just wanted to let you know we are ABSOLUTELY listening to you, reading all your tweets & appreciate your patience!”
Mortal Kombat X comes to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this Summer.
