Six million Killer Instinct players last month

That is a sizable fighting community.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 15 April 2016

Microsoft has announced that Killer Instinct reached 6 million unique players last month, a number likely increased by the launch of Season 3 and the PC version. Killer Instinct is a free to play title, but this is very good numbers regardless and last time Microsoft shared this data was late during Season 1 when it had one million unique players on Xbox One.
