Arc Raiders surpasses 14 million copies sold and 6 million active weekly players

Embark Studios quickly had a hit on its hands when it dropped Arc Raiders last year. Since then, the extraction shooter has only grown in popularity, with the game hitting a peak of one million concurrent players on PC alone. 

According to information from the latest Nexon investor presentation, Arc Raiders has already sold 14 million copies so far across all supported platforms. On a weekly basis, the game sees huge amounts of traffic, with as much as six million active players over each 7-day timespan.

While Arc Raiders was developed and created by Embark Studios, a team built up from former Battlefield veterans, Nexon was the publisher and as a result, is tracking the game's performance very closely.

At this point, Arc Raiders has cemented itself as one of the biggest multiplayer shooters on the market, performing well even against tough competition like Escape from Tarkov. Bungie will be throwing its hat into the ring soon with Marathon, which drops in March.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
