Embracer Group celebrates the phenomenal success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark just ten days after its February 4th release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game initially sold 1 million copies in a single day, nearly doubling that figure in a remarkably short timeframe.
This achievement represents a significant milestone for developer Warhorse Studios. The sequel's performance on Steam is particularly noteworthy, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a stark contrast to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is undoubtedly higher due to console sales, precise figures remain unavailable from Sony and Microsoft.
