Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Does the Business for Embracer as It Nears 2 Million Copies Sold
ign.comEmbracer has hailed the success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, confirming it is near the 2 million sold mark.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold 1 million copies just a day after launch, and has now nearly doubled that figure 10 days later.
It's an incredible sales success for developer Warhorse Studios' medieval Europe action role playing game sequel, which launched on February 4 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Embracer said Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 did particularly well on Steam, where it saw over 250,000 peak concurrent players. For context, the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance hit a peak Steam concurrent player count of 96,069 seven years ago.
It’s worth noting that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s actual peak concurrent player count will be bigger, given the game launched on console as well as PC. However, neither Sony nor Microsoft make player numbers public.
Embracer, which owns Warhorse Studios via its subsidiary, Plaion, said Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 “has been initially successful, not only in terms of player and critic reception, but also in terms of performance.”
“This reflects the dedication and hard work of our development studio, Warhorse Studios, and our publisher, Deep Silver,” Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors said.
“It is our strong belief that the game will continue to generate substantial revenues over the coming years, highlighting the exceptional quality, immersion and appeal of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Warhorse Studios has a robust roadmap, including updates and new content over the next 12 months, ensuring an engaging and continuously evolving experience for the community.
“We are immensely proud of the teams involved in the successful release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which has significantly outperformed our expectations so far,” Wingefors added.
Other than Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Embracer has Killing Floor 3 due out later this quarter (January to March 2025).
Embracer said it has more than 5,000 game developers working
