Arc Raiders' Frozen Trails update and free weekend lead to a surge in player numbers, as the extraction shooter reportedly reaches a six-month high - Eurogamer.net

Automated excerpt

Arc Raiders is still going strong almost a year after finding viral success, and it's all thanks to Embark Studios' one-two-punch strategy of launching a huge new update, Frozen Trails, to coincide with a free weekend. Arc Raiders' Frozen Trails update upgraded the extraction shooter to version 2. 0 earlier this month - 8th October - and quickly led to a surge in Steam players interested in its tense PvEvP shootouts. In the three days after the free trial, Arc Raiders sold another 150,000 copies and brought home roughly $3m, not counting microtransactions, per the report.
