Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Phenomenal Debut: One Million Copies Sold in a Day

A Resounding Success Across Platforms

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (KCD2) has experienced a spectacular launch, achieving both critical acclaim and impressive sales figures across all platforms. Warhorse Studios proudly announced on Twitter (X) that the game surpassed one million copies sold within 24 hours of its February 4, 2025 release. This achievement significantly outpaces its predecessor, which required over nine days to reach the same milestone.

SteamDB data reveals a concurrent player count exceeding 176,285 within a six-hour period, eclipsing KCD1's peak of 96,069. Furthermore, KCD2 secured a prominent position, ranking 12th among all PlayStation games in the US on the PS Store homepage at the time of this writing.

OpenCritic awarded KCD2 a "Mighty" rating, boasting an impressive 89 score and a 97% critic recommendation rate.

Addressing Critical Feedback

Despite the overwhelmingly positive response from fans and critics, KCD2 has not been without its detractors. Creative Director Daniel Vávra addressed some negative reviews on Twitter (X), highlighting discrepancies between the game's overall reception and certain individual scores.

Several outlets provided significantly lower ratings than the game's average, often criticizing the gameplay as tedious or overly demanding. These reviews impacted the overall OpenCritic score, prompting Vávra's public response and a critique of their journalistic standards.

Countering Online Backlash

Vávra also actively countered online attacks targeting KCD2's inclusion of same-sex romance options. He publicly challenged negative Metacritic reviews labeling the game as "historically inaccurate DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] propaganda," urging fans to report bot-generated negative comments.

He reiterated that the LGBTQ+ content is entirely optional, emphasizing the player's agency in shaping their gameplay experience within the expansive world of KCD2.
