Mortal Kombat 11 is going on sale as part of Best Buy's Black Friday in July sales event. The popular and critically successful fighting game is still burning up the sales charts, but Best Buy is deigning to offer gamers a special price nonetheless, with the game available now for just $39.99. Don't wait too long though, because as the Black Friday in July name implies, the sale lasts through July 26 and then it's gone.
For shoppers looking to save an extra couple of dollars on Mortal Kombat 11 on top of Best Buy's 20% off deal, Amazon's undercutting the competition. Mortal Kombat 11 is also $39.99 base for the day, but there's also a special $2.50 coupon that can be clicked for some additional savings. That means that Amazon is technically the more affordable option at $37.49. The coupon is available for both the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Mortal Kombat 11.
There's no better time to pick up Mortal Kombat 11 than now. The fighting game's latest DLC character was only just recently announced. Nightwolf, one of the franchise's most storied characters, is returning to the roster for the first time since the 2011 iteration of Mortal Kombat. Nightwolf is one of four DLC characters confirmed as part of Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack, alongside Shang Tsung, Sindel, and guest fighter Spawn. Two more guest characters will also be included and are rumored to be Ash from Evil Dead and the Terminator.
Mortal Kombat 11 was measured as the best selling game of 2019 in the United States as of mid-June. Mortal Kombat 11's sales passed the previous number one, Kingdom Hearts 3, which held the spot over heavy hitters like The Division 2, Anthem, and Resident Evil 2. With great sales like today's Best Buy offering, it looks like Mortal Kombat 11 may hold that top sales spot at least a little while longer.
Mortal Kombat 11 is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
