Mortal Kombat X Kombat Pack Only $10 on PlayStation Network

Mortal Kombat X’s first round of additional content is currently on sale through the PlayStation Network, but you might not have heard about it until now.

Kombat Pack 1, which includes playable characters Tanya, Tremor, Predator, and Jason Voorhees, is available at for only $9.99, a rather hefty discount from its regular $29.99. The strange thing is, no mention was made of this markdown as part of the ongoing Warner Bros. sale, and the store listing doesn’t even draw attention to the lowered cost.

In any case, this is a fantastic price, so be sure to pick it up if you’ve yet to augment your copy of Mortal Kombat X with its content.
