And things are looking rather rosy for ARC Raiders right now. As confirmed by both developer Embark Studios and parent company Nexon, the extraction shooter has smashed through 4 million sales since its launch at the end of last month.
Adding to that, the title managed to rack up more than 700,000 concurrent players across all platforms over the weekend. The suggestion here is that it's continuing to balloon in terms of popularity.
