Embracer Group celebrates the resounding success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark. The game achieved a remarkable 1 million sales within a single day of its February 4th launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, nearly doubling that figure within just 10 days.
This exceptional performance, particularly strong on Steam with over 250,000 peak concurrent players (significantly surpassing the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's 96,069 peak seven years prior), marks a triumph for developer Warhorse Studios. The actual peak concurrent player count is likely higher, considering console sales, though precise figures from Sony and Microsoft remain undisclosed.
