As seen above, there are certainly some fair deals as part of the Xbox EVO 2019 sale, and while Mortal Kombat 11 has been cheaper in the past, the discounted Kombat Pack will likely be well-received. Kombat Pack owners will have access to exclusive gear and skins, as well as 6 DLC characters with the first being Shang Tsung. Nightwolf, Sindel, and Spawn are set to join the Kombat Pack in the coming months, with two unidentified characters also following them.
There are plenty of fighting games on sale, so if Mortal Kombat 11 isn't the preferred cup of tea, DragonBall FighterZ or Soul Calibur 6 may prove to sate the fighting game desire. Of course, checking out the EVO 2019 championship could do that as well.
For those tuning into EVO 2019, it's worth adding that Soul Calibur 6 will kick things off on Friday; Under Night In-Birth, DragonBall FighterZ, Samurai Shodown, and Mortal Kombat 11 will dominate Saturday; and Sunday will end the tournament with BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, Street Fighter 5, Tekken 7, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the latter breaking records for being the largest tournament in Smash Bros. History.
