Embracer Group celebrates the resounding success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, reporting sales nearing the 2 million mark just ten days after its February 4th release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game initially sold 1 million copies on its first day, nearly doubling that figure in a remarkably short timeframe.

The title performed exceptionally well on Steam, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a stark contrast to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 players seven years prior.
