Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits $24 in the Steam Summer Sale

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — PC Gamer's 2025 Game of the Year — is down to $24 during the Steam Summer Sale, the deepest discount Warhorse has offered since launch. The Royal Edition, which bundles the base game with three DLC story packs, is $32.

PC Gamer gave KCD2 a 90% review, calling it "a new RPG classic" — an expansive, historically grounded Bohemian sandbox that draws comparisons to Oblivion in structure and The Witcher 3 in its deep conversations, romance, and side quests that regularly outshine the main story. The three DLC packs cover shield painting, a forge expansion, and a monastery questline. The first was considered a little slight; the latter two have a better reputation. To coincide with the sale, Warhorse also dropped a patch today that adds a free new quest called A Jester's Visit, alongside the usual bugfixes — a peculiar jester has shown up outside the Hangman's Halter Tavern with a strange new game in tow.

If you're wondering whether you need to play the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance from 2018 first, the short answer is no. KCD2's story is largely self-contained and its opening hours are written for newcomers. The 2018 original is also on sale — $6 for the base game, $8 with all DLC — but KCD2 is the stronger game by a wide margin, with smoother combat and more interesting towns.

The Steam Summer Sale has plenty more going on beyond KCD2 — PC Gamer has a full roundup of the highlights worth checking out.
