Nexon reported a 6.5 percent increase in revenue for 2025, reaching 475.1 billion yen, or about 3.1 billion dollars, marking the third consecutive year of record highs. The company attributed much of this growth to the success of Arc Raiders, which sold over 14 million copies since its October launch. Peak concurrent players reached nearly one million on PC alone in January 2026, with around six million weekly active users.
Patrick Söderlund, founder and CEO of Embark Studios, has been named executive chairman at Nexon to guide its global strategy and growth. He will work closely with CEO Junghun Lee to set the company's direction. This move comes amid Nexon's push into live-service gaming following recent successes.

Artificial intelligence has been credited for the rising popularity of Korean video games on the world stage, powering immersive experiences in titles like Nexon's Ark Raiders and Relu Games' Mimesis. These games have achieved strong sales and awards, but their use of AI has sparked debates over creativity and ethics. Industry watchers predict rapid growth in game AI adoption despite pushback.
