The medieval action RPG sequel, developed by Warhorse Studios, debuted on February 4th across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its immediate impact is evident in its rapid ascension to the top ranks of Steam's most-played games, peaking at 159,351 concurrent players. This figure significantly surpasses the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance's peak of 96,069 concurrent players seven years prior. While the actual peak concurrent player count is undoubtedly higher due to console sales (data not publicly released by Sony or Microsoft), the Steam numbers alone highlight the game's popularity. Warhorse Studios celebrated the launch as a "triumph," a testament to the game's success for both the developer and its parent company, Embracer subsidiary Plaion.
