STOCKHOLM - 23 April 2025 - Paradox Interactive is very pleased to announce that Crusader Kings III has sold four million copies across platforms - computer, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. The best-selling medieval strategy role-playing game reached this milestone earlier this year.
Released in the fall of 2020, Crusader Kings III has captivated audiences around the world with its mixture of character focused stories and deep strategic planning in a carefully researched medieval world that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to India, and from the Arctic Circle to south of the Sahara. Tens of thousands of different personalities march through unique player written histories, histories with heroes and heroines, rogues and villains, warriors and saints.
"Seeing Crusader Kings III succeed in both the computer and console spaces is such a treat for us!" says Crusader Kings game director Alexander Oltner. "Millions of people are engaging with history and writing their own dramatic tales of success and failure, which is a major goal of ours. CK3 turns five this year, and we're happy to know that there are millions more stories waiting to be told."
Earlier this year, Crusader Kings III announced Chapter IV of its content for PC, a chapter which includes the largest map expansion in series history, as the game opens up East and Southeast Asia for play.
