Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Exceeds Expectations, Approaches 2 Million Copies Sold
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has proven to be a major success for Embracer Group, with nearly 2 million copies sold since its release. The medieval RPG, developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver, launched across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X on February 4, 2025. The game surpassed expectations almost immediately, selling 1 million copies within just 24 hours of release. Now, less than two weeks after launch, it looks set to double that impressive figure, signaling a highly successful entry in the Kingdom Come series.
Unprecedented Success Following Launch
During Embracer Group’s third-quarter FY 2024-25 earnings call, the company revealed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 had “significantly outperformed” their sales projections. In a statement, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors expressed excitement over the game’s initial success, noting that it had not only received positive reception from both players and critics but also exceeded sales expectations. The title’s quick rise in sales reflects the hard work and dedication of Warhorse Studios and the support of its publisher, Deep Silver.
Record-Breaking Launch Performance
The sales numbers for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 have been particularly strong on Steam, where the game reached a peak concurrent player count of 250,000 within days of its release. As of the latest reports, the game has seen a record-breaking 256,206 peak concurrent players on Steam, further demonstrating its widespread appeal. Although the majority of sales can be attributed to its PC launch, the game is also seeing strong performances on consoles like Xbox and PlayStation, meaning its total player base is likely much larger than Steam numbers alone suggest.
Looking Ahead
With sales expected to approach the 2 million mark in the near future, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is solidifying itself as one of the standout RPG releases of 2025. This success has positioned it as a key asset for Embracer Group, who continues to push forward with new and exciting projects. The positive reception and impressive sales figures signal that there’s a strong demand for historically inspired, open-world RPG experiences, and fans will likely be keeping a close eye on what comes next for the Kingdom Come franchise.
