Nexon reports ARC Raiders lifetime revenue exceeds $552 million
Nexon has reported that its extraction shooter, ARC Raiders, has generated over ¥88 billion (approximately $552.8 million) in lifetime revenue since its launch. According to the company’s Q2 2026 earnings report, the title has sold more than 16.3 million units globally.
During the second quarter specifically, the game earned ¥18.3 billion (roughly $114.9 million), accounting for approximately 15% of Nexon’s total quarterly revenue. While Nexon noted that sales are beginning to normalize following its October 2025 launch, the game remains a significant commercial success, particularly in Western markets.
Nexon’s total quarterly revenue reached ¥121.1 billion (about $760.8 million), a 2% year-over-year increase. Although net income rose 77% to ¥29.6 billion, operating income saw a 17% decline to ¥31.3 billion, which the company attributed to increased expenses related to global live-service games, such as user acquisition and cloud service costs. To maintain momentum, Embark Studios is preparing ‘Frozen Trail’, described as the game’s largest content update, scheduled for release in October.
