Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has delivered a success for Embracer Group and has nearly sold two million copies, the company announced as part of its third-quarter FY 2024-25 earnings on Thursday. The medieval RPG from Warhorse Studios was released across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X on February 4 and sold one million copies within 24 hours of its launch. Less than two weeks later, the game looks set to double that number.

At its Q3 2024-25 earnings call, Embracer said Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 had “significantly outperformed” its expectations with its successful launch.

“We are excited to share that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the medieval role playing game released just over a week ago, has been initially successful, not only in terms of player and critic reception, but also in terms of performance,” Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors said in a press release detailing the company's quarterly financial results. “This reflects the dedication and hard work of our development studio, Warhorse Studios, and our publisher, Deep Silver.”

“The game sold over 1 million copies in the first 24 hours, and is fast approaching 2 million, with an especially strong performance on Steam with over 250,000 peak concurrent players,” he added.

Embracer is the parent company of both Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios and publisher Deep Silver. The RPG has hit a peak concurrent player count of 2,56,206 on Steam, as per SteamDB charts. Its playerbase will likely be much larger if console players on Xbox and PlayStation are considered.
