Swedish game developer Embark Studios has made a good start in the highly competitive game market with its debut game "ARC Raiders".According to statistics from the game data website Gamalytic, this third-person shooter game has sold more than 1.6 million copies just three days after it was launched on the Steam platform, setting an impressive first-time result.

This astonishing sales figure is expected to bring Embark Studios about $60 million in initial revenue, and this is only the result of the PC/Steam single platform.The strong performance of the game also confirms the high market expectations for it before its release.

The success of ARC Raiders has exceeded even the development team's own expectations.During the first weekend of release, the large influx of players temporarily put pressure on the game servers, and officials had to urgently activate the queuing system to ensure the experience.This "sweet trouble" confirms the popularity of the game from the side.

"You two look quite panicked."
As a new studio founded by former DICE senior employees, it is undoubtedly a milestone achievement for Embark's debut to receive such a huge market response.The eyes of the industry are focusing on how they can maintain this initial popularity and continue to operate on this basis to build "ARC Raiders" into a long-lasting series of IP.
