Embracer Group has announced the phenomenal success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark. Just one day after its February 4th launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game sold over 1 million copies. This figure has nearly doubled in just ten days, representing a remarkable achievement for developer Warhorse Studios. The game's performance on Steam was particularly impressive, exceeding 250,000 peak concurrent players—a significant leap compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is likely higher due to console sales, precise figures remain unavailable from Sony and Microsoft.
