Crusader Kings 3 has already sold over a million copies since launch

Crusader Kings III has joined the 'one million copies sold' club, and it's only been a couple of months since it launched at the start of September. Paradox Interactive has just run a live stream of its Interim Q3 report on Twitch, and has just announced some big numbers for the medieval grand strategy game.

CEO Ebba Ljungerud and CFO Alexander Bricca have been going through the numbers and key points for Q3, and Crusader Kings III was front and centre. Ljungerud mentioned that the game has achieved a 91% score on Metacritic, as well as a 92% approval rating on Steam across 20,000 user reviews. Ljungerund also mentioned that everyone's favourite murder simulator passed the one million units milestone in early October, just over a month from launch.

For some context, it took Hearts of Iron IV until May 2018 - just under two years from launch - to reach the one million mark, and Stellaris hit 1.5 million in February 2018. Up until the launch of Crusader Kings III, Hearts of Iron IV was consistently Paradox's most-played grand strategy game.
