Arc Raiders has officially sold 12 million copies, so Embark's giving everyone a free gold hammer: "The way it took off, I think, took all of us by surprise"

"The community of raiders has helped shape this game from the very beginning, and their passion, feedback, and ingenuity continue to guide how we build, support, and grow this world for the long term," executive producer Aleksander Grøndal says in a press release. With the war chest from Arc Raiders, Watkins says Embark is "doing what we can to build up the team, or reorg the team to support areas. And the way it's done has taken us by surprise," he says, also referring to the long tail the game has seen since launch, sustaining high concurrent player numbers on Steam in particular.
