K-pop superstars BTS never seem to slow down.

Two months after their latest, record-breaking debut of “Map of the Soul: Persona”, the South Korean boy band are making waves again with new music and their own mobile game, BTS World.

Released in late June on Google Play and iOS, the mobile game app shot to No. 1 for iPhone downloads in the United States – surpassing the latest Harry Potter app release, according to Variety.

On Saturday, the companion album, also called “BTS World”, was released worldwide. It includes the seven member’s theme songs from the game along with the title song, Heartbeat. Fans will also find three songs previously released in June: Dream Glow, A Brand New Day and All Night.

The game starts in 2012, when the septet was being formed. Players are tasked with getting the BTS members on their way to becoming the global super group they are today.
