Dying Light The Beast is the newest game within the Dying Light franchise, which sees a return of Kyle Crane, the main protagonist in the first game. This time, Kyle is on a quest for revenge against the Baron, a doctor who kidnapped, tortured, and experimented on Kyle for 13 years. Dying Light The Beast has had a very successful launch, racking up 25.6 million hours of playtime from players all over the world. Techland has published a board of metrics depicting different figures of the game, players have already achieved. Here are some of the crazy stats the game has already seen in the past 2 weeks.

Dying Light The Beast Metrics

The game has made strides since its release last month. It’s earned a 78 Metacritic score for its parkour and combat, engaging co-op mode, and dark atmosphere, which has immersed players within the story. Techland, the developers of the series, have recently released different kinds of metrics the game has achieved since its release 2 weeks ago. Here’s a list of metrics the game had achieved in the first 12 days, according to their post:

25,625,042 total hours played
168,933 player deaths
2,289,451,369 zombies killed

Other stats include:

The most remarkable statistic among these is that collectively, all players have killed over 2.2 billion zombies in just two weeks. That’s over a quarter of the world’s population. This is quite remarkable, considering the game’s extended release period, and a testament to how much players are enjoying it. Though there isn’t a concrete sales number on the game yet, the statistics tell us that the number will be pretty high. Dying Light The Beast was released on September 18, 2025, and has been available for about 2 weeks. So far, players have been enjoying the continuation of Kyle’s story, and I can’t wait to see more updates on metrics for the game.
