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

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has stormed onto the scene, selling an impressive one million copies within just a day of its launch. Warhorse Studios' much-anticipated sequel to their medieval Europe action RPG hit the market on February 4, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game quickly ascended to the top of Steam’s most-played games list, showcasing its immediate popularity among gamers.

On Steam alone, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reached a peak of 159,351 concurrent players, a figure that's expected to rise as the game enters its first weekend on sale. This number surpasses the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak concurrent player count of 96,069 from seven years ago. It's important to remember that these figures only reflect PC players; the actual peak concurrent player count across all platforms would be even higher, although console player numbers are not disclosed by Sony or Microsoft.

Warhorse Studios celebrated the success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on Twitter, calling it "a triumph." This suggests a strong performance for the Czech developer and its parent company, Plaion, an Embracer subsidiary.

The question on everyone's mind is how far Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can go. Currently, it's the top-selling game on Steam by revenue globally, outpacing heavy hitters like Counter-Strike 2, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter: Wilds. This indicates that the game has substantial staying power in the market.

IGN's review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 awarded it a remarkable 9/10, praising its "excellent melee combat and an exceptional story." The review highlighted the game as both a sequel and a "coronation," suggesting it brings many of the original game's ideas to a successful culmination.
