Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has emerged as a colossal success, selling one million copies within a day of its launch. Warhorse Studios' eagerly awaited sequel to their medieval Europe action RPG hit the shelves 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.
On Valve's platform, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reached a peak of 159,351 concurrent players. This impressive number is expected to rise as the game enters its first weekend on sale. To put this into perspective, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance peaked at 96,069 concurrent players on Steam seven years ago.
It's important to consider that the actual peak concurrent player count for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be even higher, as the game was released on consoles as well. Unfortunately, neither Sony nor Microsoft release player count data publicly.
In a celebratory tweet, Warhorse Studios hailed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as "a triumph," indicating strong commercial 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 tops Steam's global revenue charts, outperforming games like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds, suggesting sustained popularity.
IGN's review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 awarded it a 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and an exceptional story." The review highlighted the game as "one part sequel and one part coronation, bringing a lot of the original's ideas to fruition."
