Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers and player count – How many people are paying and playing?
How many copies have been sold?
As if the rave reviews from fans and critics weren't enough, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is quite the financial success too. It's always a risk to create huge AAA games, but things are paying off for Deep Silver and Warhorse Studios.
The sequel to 2018's medieval RPG romp is quickly gaining traction, and early game of the year predictions this time seem reasonable. Its wicked sense of humour, huge map, and various romance options are clearly proving irresistible.
So how many people are currently playing? And what are the sales like?
Let's take a look at the Steam numbers, and some quotes from the Warhorse Studios CEO, to see how well KCD2 is performing.
How are the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers?
After just one day on sale, Warhorse Studios confirmed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sales numbers topped 1 million copies sold.
This staggering sales statistic was confirmed by the developer over on X (formerly known as Twitter), who added a message of thanks: "Over a million of you have stepped into our world. We’re beyond grateful for your support - thank you for making KCD2 a triumph!"

Also, the co-founder of Kingdom Come developer Warhorse Studios, Daniel Vávra, has said that the game made all of its money back on the first day of sales (source: Games Radar). Not bad at all!
How many people are playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2?
It’s always tricky to know for sure how many people are playing a game at any given moment, but SteamDB does tell us how many are currently playing on KCD2 on Steam.
The Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 SteamDB page tells us that the game’s all-time peak of players (as of writing) was on 5th February 2025 and saw a whopping 176,285 playing the game at once.
As of writing on 18th February 2025, the current number of players live in KCD2 on Steam is over 115,000.
Expect that number to change, though, and you’ll need to go back to SteamDB to see how player numbers on Steam average out for KCD2.
How does this compare to the first game?
Compared to the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is performing very well. Time will tell if it reaches the KCD1 sales of over 8 million, however.
As of November 2024, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 sold over 8 million copies, as was confirmed by Warhorse Studios on X. It took more than six and a half years for KCD1 to sell 8 million copies.
It took KCD2 just 24 hours to sell 1 million.
Using SteamDB again, we can see that KCD2 is outperforming KCD1 in terms of its all-time peak number of players.
The Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 all-time peak number of players on Steam is 96,069. That’s just over half of KCD2’s all-time peak of 176,285 Steam players.
