United States Leads, China Surprises
As anticipated, the United States holds the top position in terms of sales volume.Though,the second-largest market presents a noteworthy surprise: China. This underscores the growing influence of the Chinese gaming community and their excited reception of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series. Daniel Vávra previously noted the strong performance of the original game in China, setting the stage for the sequel’s success.
Germany and the Czech Republic: A local Triumph
Germany secures the third spot, followed by the Czech Republic. Frývaldský emphasized the significance of the Czech market’s performance, stating that sales within the country rival those of Germany. This is a remarkable achievement, considering the Czech Republic’s relatively small size, and demonstrates the strong local support for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
platform Performance: PC Gaming Remains King
Beyond geographical markets, the distribution of sales across different platforms provides valuable insights into player preferences.
Digital Dominance: PC leads the Charge
Digital downloads continue to dominate the gaming landscape, with PC sales accounting for approximately two-thirds of all copies sold. This reinforces the PC’s position as the primary platform for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The remaining third of sales is split between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, indicating a healthy presence on current-generation consoles.
Physical Copies: A Niche Market
Physical, or “box,” versions of the game represent a smaller segment of the market, accounting for roughly 10 to 15% of total sales. While digital distribution is clearly the preferred method for most players, a dedicated audience still appreciates the tangible experience of owning a physical copy.
The Future of Kingdom Come
The success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 across various markets and platforms underscores the game’s broad appeal and the growing demand for immersive, historically-grounded RPG experiences. As Warhorse Studios continues to refine and expand the game, it will be interesting to observe how these market dynamics evolve.
