Nexon said on the 13th that worldwide sales of the new extraction adventure title "ARC Raiders," developed by its Sweden-based subsidiary Embark Studios, have surpassed 12.4 million copies. It has been about two months since the game's official launch.
According to Nexon that day, "ARC Raiders" surpassed 960,000 concurrent users across all platforms, including PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, after its release on Oct. 30 last year and growing popularity. It also remained in the top ranks of Steam's global "top sellers" for the past 10 weeks.
It also stood out by winning at global game awards. At "The Game Awards (TGA)," considered the world's largest game awards, it won in the "best multiplayer game" category. At the "2025 Steam Awards," organized by Steam, it was selected in the "most innovative gameplay" category.
Starting with an early investment in 2018, Nexon fully integrated Embark Studios as a wholly owned subsidiary and has provided long-term collaboration and full development support for seven years. A company official said, "As a result, we successfully established a new intellectual property (IP) that spans Western and Asian markets."
Lee Jeong-heon, head of Nexon Japan, said, "ARC Raiders has shown the potential to become Nexon's next-generation blockbuster IP," adding, "This achievement, made through long-term collaboration with Embark Studios, proves that Nexon's global horizontal IP growth strategy, which has expanded its user base across diverse platforms, is yielding tangible results."
