Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Does the Business for Embracer as It Nears 2 Million Copies Sold

Embracer Group celebrates the resounding success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark. The game achieved 1 million sales within a single day of its February 4th launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, nearly doubling that figure within just 10 days.

This remarkable achievement underscores the popularity of Warhorse Studios' medieval RPG sequel. Embracer highlights the game's exceptional performance on Steam, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a significant increase compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 players seven years prior. The actual peak concurrent player count is likely higher, considering console sales, though precise figures from Sony and Microsoft remain undisclosed.

Embracer, parent company of Warhorse Studios via its subsidiary Plaion, emphasizes the game's positive reception from both players and critics, alongside its strong financial performance.
