Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Has Already Sold 1 Million Copies, Dev Calls It a ‘Triumph’

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has enjoyed a phenomenal launch, selling an impressive one million copies within a single day. Released on February 4th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the medieval action RPG sequel quickly ascended to the top ranks of Steam's most-played games. On Valve's platform alone, it peaked at 159,351 concurrent players—a significant leap compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 seven years prior. The actual peak player count is likely even higher, considering the console releases, though precise figures from Sony and Microsoft remain unavailable.

Warhorse Studios celebrated the launch as a "triumph," a testament to the game's success for both the developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.

The game's continued success is evident in its current position as Steam's top-selling game by global revenue, surpassing titles like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Rise. This strong performance suggests sustained popularity.

IGN awarded Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and exceptional story," calling it "one part sequel and one part coronation."
