The second-ever title from Czech developer Warhorse Studios hit the market on February 4.

The game sustained its momentum in the days following its launch, leading the Steam Top Sellers chart for six consecutive days as of February 9. Further proof of its success comes from SteamDB user data, which shows that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has set a new daily concurrent player record every day for the past week.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 May Be Nearing 2 Million Sales
Warhorse Studios Creative Director Daniel Vávra previously confirmed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold 1 million copies in its first 24 hours on the market, thus immediately breaking even. According to an average of estimates from Gamalytic, PlayTracker, and VG Insights, the game’s sales are in the ballpark of 890,000 on Steam alone as of February 9. Since PC sales typically account for no more than half of AAA game sales, it’s plausible that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is already close to selling 2 million copies.
