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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has proven to be a massive hit, selling one million copies just a day after its launch. Warhorse Studios' medieval Europe action RPG sequel was released on February 4, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game quickly soared to the top of Steam’s most-played games list, reaching a peak of 159,351 concurrent players. This number 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 note that the actual peak concurrent player count for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is likely higher, considering its simultaneous launch on consoles. Unfortunately, neither Sony nor Microsoft disclose player numbers publicly. In a tweet, Warhorse celebrated Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as "a triumph," indicating a significant success for the Czech video game developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.

The question now is how far Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can go. Currently, it holds the top spot as the best-selling game on Steam by revenue worldwide, outperforming titles like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This suggests that the game will continue to perform well in the coming months.

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 "one part sequel and one part coronation, bringing a lot of the original's ideas to fruition."
