Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has achieved remarkable success, selling one million copies within just 24 hours of its release.
Warhorse Studios' highly anticipated medieval RPG sequel launched on February 4 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, quickly climbing the ranks of Steam's most-played titles.
On Steam, the game reached an impressive peak of 159,351 concurrent players - a figure that's expected to grow during its debut weekend. For comparison, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance peaked at 96,069 concurrent players seven years ago.
It's important to note that the actual player count is significantly higher, as the game launched simultaneously on consoles. However, Sony and Microsoft don't publicly share their player statistics.
Warhorse Studios proudly declared the game "a triumph" in a recent tweet, indicating strong performance for both the Czech developer and its parent company, Embracer Group's Plaion subsidiary.
The question remains: How much further can Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 climb? Currently topping Steam's global revenue charts ahead of heavyweights like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds, the game shows strong potential for sustained success.
IGN's glowing review awarded the game a 9/10 score, praising it as: "An excellent sequel that fulfills the original's promise, featuring superb melee combat and an exceptional narrative."
