"Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Sells 1 Million Copies, Developer Celebrates 'Triumph'"

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has taken the gaming world by storm, selling an impressive one million copies within just a day of its launch. Developed by Warhorse Studios, this sequel to the beloved medieval Europe action RPG hit the shelves on February 4, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Its immediate success propelled it to the top of Steam's most-played games list, demonstrating its widespread appeal.

On Valve's platform, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 achieved a peak concurrent player count of 159,351. This figure is expected to rise as the game enters its first weekend on sale. For comparison, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance reached a peak of 96,069 concurrent players on Steam seven years ago. It's important to remember that the true peak concurrent player count for the sequel is likely higher, considering its launch across multiple platforms, although Sony and Microsoft do not disclose player numbers.

Warhorse Studios celebrated this achievement on Twitter, calling Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 "a triumph," which underscores the success for the Czech developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.

The game currently holds the title of the top-selling game on Steam by revenue globally, surpassing giants like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This indicates strong staying power for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. IGN's review awarded the game a 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and an exceptional story," describing it as "one part sequel and one part coronation, bringing a lot of the original's ideas to fruition."
