TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 12, 2026--

NEXON Co., Ltd. (Nexon) (3659.TO), a global leader in online games, announced that ARC Raiders® – an all-new game from the company’s Stockholm-based Embark Studios – has sold more than 12.4 million units, with concurrent players reaching 960,000 in January, ten weeks after the launch on October 30, 2025.

“We are incredibly pleased with the strong retention and enduring enthusiasm players in all major markets worldwide have shown for ARC Raiders,” said Junghun Lee, President and CEO of Nexon. “As pleased as we were with the October launch, reaching more than 12.4 million units and setting a record with 960,000 concurrent users in January demonstrates the potential for ARC Raiders to become another pillar in Nexon’s portfolio of blockbuster franchises.

“Embark Studios has delivered exactly what players worldwide have expected from the game, a fresh, highly differentiated experience in a massive global game genre. ARC Raiders ’ success is a clear affirmation of Nexon Group’s goal of expanding our global footprint with horizontal growth from all-new games that capture and grow massive game communities in every major market and on multiple platforms.”

Driven by strong holiday sell-through from promotions with Epic Games Store, Steam, Playstation ®, and Xbox, ARC Raiders® surpassed 10 million units in sales by the end of December, less than two months after the launch. Sales momentum accelerated in recent weeks, taking the total to more than 12.4 million units, while the game maintained the top-ranking on Steam’s Top Sellers for much of the past ten weeks.
