Kingdom Hearts III is now the franchise’s best-selling entry in the U.S., according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.

The Disney-themed action role-playing game released on January 29 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is also the best-selling game of 2019 so far in the U.S. Kingdom Hearts III takes the series’ U.S. top spot from the original Kingdom Hearts, which came out for the PlayStation 2 back in September 2002. It managed this despite not charting in NPD’s March top 20.
