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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has launched to phenomenal success, selling an impressive one million copies within a single day of its release. The medieval action RPG sequel, developed by Warhorse Studios, debuted on February 4th across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its immediate impact is evident in its rapid ascent to the top ranks of Steam's most-played games, peaking at 159,351 concurrent players. This figure significantly surpasses the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 concurrent players seven years prior. The actual peak player count is likely even higher, considering the game's console release, although precise numbers from Sony and Microsoft remain unavailable. Warhorse Studios celebrated the launch, calling it a "triumph," a testament to the game's success for both the developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.

The game's remarkable success continues, currently holding the top spot on Steam's global best-selling games list by revenue, outperforming titles like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This strong initial performance suggests sustained popularity. IGN awarded Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a 9/10 rating, praising its "excellent melee combat and exceptional story," calling it a "sequel and coronation" that successfully builds upon its predecessor.
