Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has sold five times more than its predecessor during its first month in the United States. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was already one of the biggest successes of 2025 so far, and this recent data indicates that the franchise has grown considerably in popularity with the sequel.
Released back in February, the historical medieval role-playing game quickly became a big hit. Not only did Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sell over a million copies within a day, already turning a profit, but it was fairly well-received among critics and players alike. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 reviewers praised the title’s grounded realism, memorable story and characters, and high player agency, which helped Warhorse Studios’ RPG to get an average critic score of 90 on OpenCritic.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Commitment to Authenticity Helps its Narrative Beats Stick the Landing
Since Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 relies so heavily on realism and authenticity, it ultimately means players are forced to sit with their choices.
Now, Circana analyst Mat Piscatella has unveiled more information about how well Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold in the United States, revealing that the RPG outsold its predecessor five times in “launch month dollar sales.” While these figures may not be the same globally, this at least demonstrates that the RPG was greatly more successful than its predecessor.

Data from a few weeks ago has already shown that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sold over 2 million copies, and this number will likely keep increasing over 2025. Soon after its release, the title peaked at 250,000 simultaneous players on Steam, marking its place as one of the biggest launches of the year.
Since then, Warhorse Studios has focused on improving the historical RPG. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 recently received Update 1.2, which added a few new features to the game. One of the main changes in the update is that gamers can finally change Henry’s appearance by visiting a barber. Also, the update fixed multiple bugs that the game had, and refined some combat mechanics, NPC behavior, performance, and more.
A few weeks ago, the developers at Warhorse Studios unveiled a roadmap for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Soon, the title will receive a Hardcore Mode, as well as horse racing. Despite the feature not being officially released yet, some gamers are already playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in Hardcore Mode by using a trick. These gamers have discovered that it’s possible to access the mode on PC via a specific console command. Later in 2025, the game will also gain three major DLCs, which can be purchased separately or as part of the Expansion Pass.
