Arc Raiders

Following the October launch of its extraction shooter Arc Raiders, which peaked at nearly half a million players on Steam, Embark Studios has re-recorded some text-to-speech AI-generated voice lines using professional actors in response to player criticism over immersion. CEO Patrick Söderlund acknowledged that 'a real professional actor is better than AI' and emphasized AI's role as a production tool rather than a replacement for humans.

Embark Studios has deployed an emergency hotfix for Arc Raiders after a security researcher uncovered a flaw in the game's Discord integration that logged private messages locally. The issue involved the Discord SDK capturing and storing sensitive user data on players' machines. The studio assures players that no data left their devices and is conducting a further audit.

Developer Embark Studios announced that Arc Raiders has sold over 12 million copies since its launch. The extraction shooter has achieved notable player retention and concurrent peaks amid competition from major titles. To mark the milestone, the studio is gifting a special in-game tool to qualifying players.

Design director Virgil Watkins discussed feedback and upcoming improvements in a recent interview.

Arc Raiders emerged as Steam's top-selling game by revenue during the holiday period from December 23 to 30. According to SteamDB data, it outperformed titles like Battlefield 6 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in premium game sales.
