“In the past few years, the studio has shot to the top, thanks to major hits including Batman: Arkham Knight and fighting game Mortal Kombat X, which have each sold more than five million units globally,” the publication said.

Lego Jurassic World, another game from the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, has sold about four million units, worldwide.

Batman: Arkham Knight topped charts in US and UK upon release in June 2015. The sale of PC version of the game, however, was discontinued because of some serious performance and graphical issues. The same would be available towards the end of October according to publishers.

Enjoying the biggest launch in franchise history, Mortal Kombat X along with Batman: Arkham Knight were cited as key contributors in Time Warner’s revenue boost for the quarter which ended June 30.
