“Arc Raiders,” Nexon’s new PvPvE extraction adventure game, appears to be a hit in its early stages. As of the 3rd, “Arc Raiders” has achieved notable success, with 350,000 concurrent players on Steam and ranking first in the world’s top revenue-generating games. Since its release on October 30th, the number of concurrent users has been steadily increasing. Before its launch, “Arc Raiders” had already reached the top of the global popularity rankings in terms of sales revenue.
The game is particularly well-received across both Eastern and Western regions. It ranks first in countries including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Brazil, and holds the second position in Russia.
Developed by Nexon’s subsidiary, Embark Studios, “Arc Raiders” is an extraction adventure shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Earth. It was globally released on October 30th on platforms including Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X·S, and NVIDIA GeForce Now. During the “Server Slam” load test conducted before launch, it garnered approximately 190,000 concurrent players on Steam, heightening anticipation for its success.
In the game, players become survivors, known as “Raiders,” engaging in combat with mechanical lifeforms called “ARC” to secure resources while collaborating or competing with other players. The game features exploration and survival above and below ground, with different environments such as “Dam Battlefield,” “Buried City,” “Space Base,” and “Blue Gate” available for resource exploration and battles against ARCs. The underground base “Speranza” offers equipment crafting, NPC exchanges, quests, and a variety of life and growth content.
To celebrate the official launch of “Arc Raiders,” Nexon is hosting various events. Korean players can obtain up to 150,000 Nexon Hyundai Card points by purchasing an “Arc Raiders” Steam key code from the official website with a Nexon Hyundai Card by November 14th. Last weekend, in partnership with SOOP, they offered various prizes like gaming mice, gift certificates for food delivery, and chicken gift icons to viewers of their “Arc Raiders” category broadcast on SOOP.
