Arc Raiders Reaches 12.4 Million Sales, 960,000 Peak Players as Embark Rolls Out Update and Player Gift

Nexon casts the breakout as a long-term pillar, crediting strong retention plus recent promotions.

Overview

  • The premium extraction shooter surpassed 12.4 million copies sold roughly 10 weeks after its October 30, 2025 launch, after clearing 10 million by late December.
  • Peak concurrent players hit about 960,000 in January across platforms, a company record cited in official statements.
  • Embark is granting a Gilded Pickaxe to anyone who has logged in by 23:59 CET on January 13, with delivery via in‑game mail.
  • Today’s patch reduces the Kettle’s fire rate from 600 to 450 to curb macro abuse, tones down the Trigger ’Nade, and fixes a key‑card persistence exploit.
  • An anti‑cheat update is planned in the coming weeks as Nexon and Embark emphasize high retention, awards recognition, and long‑term franchise goals.
