Final CCU peak happened for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and topped at 256,2k (vs 96k from KC:D1) concurrent users, that's 166,7% more than the first entry. Reception has been extremely positive and the game is already profitable, impressive to see.

Looking for 1-2 more #neurodiverse content creators in the games space who would be interested in joining a #PAXEast panel submission on navigating content creation as a neurodiverse creator. If this is you or you know someone, feel free to reply or DM. Looking to submit this proposal by Monday.
