Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has swiftly emerged as a monumental success, selling an impressive one million copies within just one day of its launch. Warhorse Studios' highly anticipated sequel to their medieval Europe action RPG hit the shelves on February 4, available across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game quickly ascended to the top ranks of Steam's most-played games list, showcasing its widespread appeal and strong market reception.
On Valve's platform, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reached a peak of 159,351 concurrent players, a figure expected to rise further as the game enters its first weekend on sale. To put this into perspective, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, released seven years prior, achieved a peak Steam concurrent player count of 96,069. It's important to highlight that the true peak concurrent player count for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is likely higher, considering its simultaneous release on consoles, though Sony and Microsoft do not disclose player statistics.
Warhorse Studios celebrated this achievement with a tweet labeling Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as "a triumph," indicating a significant success for the Czech developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.
The question now is how far Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can go. It currently holds the position of the top-selling game on Steam by revenue worldwide, outpacing major titles like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This suggests that the game has strong potential for sustained popularity.
IGN's review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 awarded it a 9/10 score, praising its "excellent melee combat and exceptional story." The review noted that the game is "one part sequel and one part coronation, bringing a lot of the original's ideas to fruition."
