Embracer Group has announced the resounding success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark. Just one day after its February 4th launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game sold 1 million copies, nearly doubling that figure within 10 days. This remarkable achievement showcases the sequel's popularity, particularly on Steam, where it boasted over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a significant leap from the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's 96,069 peak seven years prior. While console player numbers remain undisclosed by Sony and Microsoft, the actual peak concurrent player count for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is undoubtedly higher.
