• Dying Light sold 20 million copies.
• Dying Light 2 sold 5 million copies.
• 3.4 million of those sales were on Steam.
• Dying Light: Bad Blood sold 136,000 copies.

The best thing to do is to start from the barebones statistics regarding the success of any game — the number of sales it has. Of course, being the first Dying Light game and the game that put the franchise on the map, it is only expected that it would be the one with the most sales in the franchise. Also, Dying Light: Bad Blood did not perform well at all.

The Dying Light series has accumulated over $490.5 million in revenue on Steam.

• Dying Light made $341.8 million in revenue.
• Dying Light 2 made $147.9 million in revenue.
• Dying Light: Bad Blood made $800,000 in revenue.

Moving on from sales, we now have revenue. There are few special sales that would make you buy Dying Light 2 any sooner than you would intend, so the total revenue mirrors the total copies sold, with Dying Light in the lead and Dying Light 2 and Bad Blood following in that order. It’s a massive amount of money for just three games to generate, and that is only on Steam, not knowing how much more money was generated on other platforms.
