Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is 60% off during the Steam Summer Sale right now, bringing Warhorse Studios' medieval RPG down to $24. The Royal Edition, which bundles in three DLC story packs, sits at $32. Both are the deepest discounts the game has seen since its launch.
For anyone who has been sitting on the fence, the timing is hard to ignore. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was named by some Game of the Year, and the broader critical reception backed that up. The game drew comparisons to both Oblivion and The Witcher 3 for the way it balances deep NPC conversations, romance, and side quests that frequently outshine the critical path.
What the sale actually gets you
The base game at $24 covers the full open-world experience set in 15th-century Bohemia. The $32 Royal Edition adds three DLC story packs released post-launch. The first expansion introduced shield painting and was considered a lighter addition. The forge expansion and monastery questline have drawn stronger word-of-mouth from players who finished the base game and wanted more.
The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance from 2018 is also on sale at just $6, with all its DLC available for $8. The sequel is the stronger game by a significant margin, particularly in combat feel and town design, so starting with KCD2 is a perfectly reasonable call.
Free quest added alongside the sale
Warhorse dropped a patch alongside the sale that does more than fix bugs. It adds a free new quest called "A Jester's Visit," triggered by a peculiar jester who appears outside the Hangman's Halter Tavern with a new game to offer Henry. The accompanying artwork suggests things are about to get weird in the best possible way.
Here's the thing about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 that makes this sale genuinely compelling: it is one of the few RPGs in recent memory that commits fully to its historical setting without leaning on fantasy shortcuts. No magic, no dragons, just a deeply simulated medieval world where your reputation, hunger, and sleep schedule actually matter. That commitment to friction is, by Warhorse's own admission, a deliberate design philosophy the studio has no plans to abandon.
The Steam Summer Sale context
This discount is part of the broader Steam Summer Sale, which went live with thousands of titles reduced across every genre. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 stands out as one of the headline deals given its critical pedigree and the fact that a new free content drop coincides with the price cut.
What most players miss when they see a sale like this is the timing relative to DLC completion. All three story expansions are already out, meaning the Royal Edition at $32 is the full package with no additional content pending. There is no season pass cliff to fall off here.
