Embracer Group announces resounding success for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark just ten days post-launch. The game, developed by Warhorse Studios, achieved an impressive 1 million sales on its first day alone, nearly doubling that figure within a week. This medieval RPG sequel, released February 4th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, has particularly strong performance on Steam, exceeding 250,000 peak concurrent players – a significant leap from 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.
