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

Embracer Group celebrates the phenomenal 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 in a single day, nearly doubling its sales within the following week.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for developer Warhorse Studios. The game's performance on Steam is particularly noteworthy, boasting over 250,000 peak concurrent players—a substantial increase compared to the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 players seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is likely higher due to console sales, precise figures remain unavailable from Sony and Microsoft.

Eight of these are from internal studios, and two from external partnerships. Two triple-A releases are scheduled for the end of FY 2025/26, alongside several mid-sized titles including Gothic 1 Remake, REANIMAL, Fellowship, Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, Titan Quest II, Screamer, Echoes of the End (working title), Tides of Tomorrow, Satisfactory (console), and the full release of Wreckfest 2, with more unannounced mid-sized projects in the pipeline.

Despite recent challenges including staff reductions and studio divestments (including Gearbox and Saber Interactive), Embracer remains a significant player in the industry, retaining studios such as 4A Games, currently developing a new entry in the Metro series.
