Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 player count skyrockets ahead of its predecessor’s peak in awesome launch 

Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 player count is already a sight to behold. Just a day after launch, the new medieval RPG has skyrocketed to massive concurrent player counts, kicking off a new era for the Czech game studio. 

With almost universally glowing reviews — including our own review — Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is expected to have long legs, just like its predecessor. As DLC is already in the works, the game’s high player count should rest easy knowing that a tonne of additional content is already on the way. 

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 player count revealed 

Via SteamCharts, the player count for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has started off strong. On Steam alone, the game has hit a peak of 1225,730 players at the time of writing, and the game is only climbing. 

For comparison, the original game in the series was already a major success, but was substantially lower in peak player numbers. Across the game’s lifespan, the original game saw an all-time high of 95,863 players concurrently exploring at the same time. 

Of course, these numbers are even higher once console versions of the game are taken into account. However, since Xbox and PlayStation typically don’t release peak concurrent player numbers for any title outside of their own, we shouldn’t expect to get any concrete data. 

Nevertheless, it goes to show that gaming as a medium is still continuing to grow. While publishers want new games like GTA 6 to raise prices to $100 to keep up with costs, there are more gamers than ever buying titles and higher player numbers than ever as well. Isn’t that interesting?
