Nexon recently announced that Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders has already sold 4 million copies in less than three weeks. This is a significant achievement, particularly because the game is bringing many new players to the extraction shooter genre. Player numbers continue to increase each weekend, and the developers have confirmed they have plenty of new content planned for the rest of the year.
ARC Raiders surpasses 4 million copies sold, continuing its impressive launch
I’ve been really impressed with how well ARC Raiders is doing. It launched right after Battlefield 6 blew up, and now everyone’s worried about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 dropping this Friday. It’s funny because the head of Embark Studios, Patrick Söderlund, used to be at Electronic Arts when Titanfall 2 launched – and that got totally overshadowed by Battlefield and Call of Duty. I was worried ARC Raiders would suffer the same fate, but it actually seems to be finding its own audience. I’m going to be watching closely over the next few weeks to see if the Call of Duty launch changes things.
Nexon recently announced that Embark Studios’ launch has been their most successful global release ever, and they expressed their thanks to the studio. (This message was translated from Korean, so some details may vary slightly.) Nexon was particularly excited by how enthusiastic players have been and promised more updates – including a new map, ARC machines, weapons, and quests – are coming this month to keep the excitement going.
Okay, so ARC Raiders is doing something kinda weird, at least on Steam. Usually, games explode with players when they first come out, then numbers slowly drop. But this one? It’s actually growing! SteamDB shows it hit its highest player count ever just recently, weeks after it launched. That’s pretty unusual! I’m really curious to see where this game goes, especially since they’re adding new stuff later this month. It’s a nice surprise to see it picking up steam (pun intended!) after the initial launch period.
