Launched on February 4, this highly anticipated sequel from Warhorse Studios has made significant waves in the gaming community. The game’s pre-release success was evident as it soared up Steam’s Top Sellers chart, driven largely by robust pre-orders.
The momentum continued unabated post-launch, with the title dominating the Steam Top Sellers chart for an impressive six consecutive days, as of February 9. According to SteamDB, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 registered a new daily peak in concurrent players every day of its first week, culminating in a record 256, 206 players on February 9.

Projected Sales Figures for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Creative Director Daniel Vávra from Warhorse Studios has announced that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 achieved over 1 million sales within its first 24 hours, simultaneously breaking even. Compiled estimates from sources like Gamalytic, PlayTracker, and VG Insights suggest that approximately 890, 000 copies have been sold on Steam alone by February 9. Given that PC sales typically represent less than 50% of overall AAA game sales, it is highly plausible that the title is nearing the remarkable milestone of 2 million copies sold.
