Kingdom Two Crowns FAQ
Common questions about Kingdom Two Crowns, answered for first-time rulers, co-op partners and returning expansion players.
Is Kingdom Two Crowns single-player or co-op?
You can play solo or with one other monarch. The Steam edition supports online and shared-screen or split-screen co-op. Nintendo's Switch listing specifies one or two players on a single console, so check the co-op options for your platform.
How should beginners expand their kingdom in Kingdom Two Crowns?
Secure your base, recruit enough subjects and extend your walls gradually. Expanding too far can leave people exposed to the Greed. Before sailing to the second island, make sure your first kingdom is well defended.
Which Kingdom Two Crowns content is included, and which campaigns cost extra?
The base game includes its medieval setting and the free Shogun, Dead Lands and Challenge Islands content. Norse Lands and Call of Olympus are paid campaign expansions for the standard editions; bundle contents vary.
Do I need the base game to play Kingdom Two Crowns: Call of Olympus?
Yes. Call of Olympus is an expansion, not a standalone game. Its Steam listing requires Kingdom Two Crowns. The Olympus Edition bundle includes both the base game and this expansion.
Are Royal Wardrobe packs required to progress in Kingdom Two Crowns?
No. Royal Wardrobe packs add cosmetic appearances for your monarchs. They are optional supporter DLCs and do not add gameplay features.
Does the Steam version of Kingdom Two Crowns officially support Apple M1 Macs?
No. Although Steam lists a macOS version, its system requirements explicitly say that Apple M1 chipsets are not supported. This is an official support limitation, not a claim that every attempted installation will fail.
What are Challenge Islands in Kingdom Two Crowns?
Challenge Islands are five challenges with different rules and objectives, designed for experienced rulers. They offer a different test from the regular campaign, with crown rewards to pursue.
Does Kingdom Two Crowns support Xbox Play Anywhere?
Yes. The Xbox store lists Xbox Play Anywhere, and Raw Fury announced support on June 12, 2025. This applies to the Xbox and Microsoft Store edition.
How can I access the Kingdom Two Crowns Rulerversary event?
