"Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Sells 1 Million Copies, Developer Hails 'Triumph'"

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has stormed onto the scene as a major success, selling a remarkable one million copies within a single day of its launch. Developed by Warhorse Studios, this medieval Europe action RPG sequel hit the shelves on February 4 and is 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, showcasing its immediate appeal to gamers worldwide.

On Steam alone, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reached a peak of 159,351 concurrent players, a figure that is expected to climb even higher as the game enters its first weekend on sale. For comparison, 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 the sequel is likely even higher, given its simultaneous release on consoles. However, Sony and Microsoft do not disclose player numbers, leaving us to speculate on the full extent of its popularity.

In a celebratory tweet, Warhorse Studios hailed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as "a triumph," indicating significant success for the Czech developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion. The game's strong performance is further evidenced by its position as the top-selling game on Steam by revenue globally, outpacing heavy hitters like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This suggests that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has the potential for sustained success.

IGN's review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 awarded it a stellar 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and exceptional story." The review described the game as both a sequel and a coronation, noting that it brings many of the original game's ideas to full realization.
