According to data compiled by the NPD Group (via Fortune), the biggest-selling video game of 2015 so far is, rather surprisingly, Mortal Kombat X, which launched on multiple platforms on April 7, 2015.
The data covers multiple platforms, accounts for U.S. game sales only and indicates a strong first seven months of the year for Warner Bros, who also have Batman: Arkham Knight in the top ten.
While Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield Hardline and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare continue to sell well, there’s also a top ten place for this year’s The Witcher 3 and Dying Light.
