"Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Sells 1 Million Copies, Developer Hails It as a 'Triumph'"

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has made an explosive entry into the gaming world, selling an impressive one million copies within just a day of its launch. Released on February 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, this medieval Europe action RPG sequel quickly ascended to the top ranks of Steam’s most-played games.

On Valve’s platform, the game reached a peak of 159,351 concurrent players, a figure that is expected to soar as it enters its first weekend on the market. To put this into perspective, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance achieved a peak of 96,069 concurrent players on Steam seven years ago. It's important to note that the total peak concurrent player count for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is even higher, considering its simultaneous launch on consoles, although Sony and Microsoft do not disclose their player numbers.

Warhorse Studios celebrated this success with a tweet, dubbing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 “a triumph.” This suggests a significant achievement for the Czech video game developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.

The game currently holds the title of the top-selling game on Steam by revenue, globally, outperforming major titles such as Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This indicates strong potential for sustained success.

IGN’s review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 awarded it a 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and an exceptional story," describing it as both a sequel and a "coronation" that brings many of the original game's concepts to full realization.
