Dying Light was the best-selling game in the US during January 2015, reports the NPD Group.

PS4 was the top-selling version, followed by Xbox One and then PC, but no breakdown has been released.

January is typically a slow month, but this hasn’t prevented Dying Light from breaking a sales record.

“In January 2015, Dying Light had the highest first month of sales for new IP in the survival-horror genre, exceeding the previous record, The Evil Within, which launched in October 2014,” said NPD analyst Liam Callahan.

January Software Top 10:

1. Dying Light (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

2. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One ,PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

3. Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)

4. Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)

5. NBA 2K15 (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

9. Destiny (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)

10. FIFA 15 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, Wii, Vita, 3DS)
