Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has now sold over 6 million copies worldwide, Warhorse Studios announced on 25 June. The Czech studio's medieval RPG launched in February 2025, cleared 5 million copies by February 2026, and added another million in the four months since — steady growth for a game that demands patience from its players.

The Balatro connection

The same day as the sales announcement, Warhorse quietly pushed patch 1.5.6, which includes a new quest tied to indie card game Balatro. An NPC named Jimbo — a reference to Balatro's jester mascot — turns up at the Hangman's Halter Tavern and invites protagonist Henry into an unusual game involving weighted dice. It's a compact crossover rather than a major expansion, but it adds a fresh reason to revisit the game heading into summer.

The update also brings Steam Controller support, fixes an Xbox controller detection bug that misread input schemes when a keyboard and mouse were plugged into a handheld device, and closes a loophole in hardcore mode that let players skip the screen where they choose three starting weaknesses for Henry. Credits have been updated too.

What's coming next

The game is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. If you haven't picked it up yet, the Steam Summer Sale — running until 9 July — has the Kingdom Come series discounted up to 80%, making this a reasonable time to jump in.

For long-term franchise watchers: Warhorse has officially announced both a new Kingdom Come sequel and a Lord of the Rings RPG. The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance crossed 10 million lifetime sales after the sequel launched, so the franchise is in good shape heading into whatever comes next.
