If you logged in to Arc Raiders today, you might have noticed a special surprise. Developer Embark Studios is giving all players a gift of 1,000 Raider Tokens as a holiday treat.
Players will see a “Happy Holidays” message in the game now, telling them they have a free gift of 1,000 Raider Tokens that they can use to buy whatever they want. “Thank you from the Arc Raiders team and Embark Studios for being a valued part of our community,” reads a line from the message. “We’d like to wish you Happy Holidays, and hope you enjoy this small gift as a token of our appreciation!”
1,000 Raider Tokens works out to just under $10 USD. People can spend Raider Tokens on things like raider decks, bundles, and a variety of cosmetic items, including backpacks, charms, and emotes.
Arc Raiders launched in late October and has been a smash hit, regularly topping engagement charts across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It’s sold nearly 7 million copies, according to a report.
The game’s new Cold Snap update brought snow, ice hockey, and other wintry elements to the world. For more, check out GameSpot’s rundown of everything new in the Cold Snap update.
Arc Raiders scored positive reviews, but the response hasn’t been totally glowing. Many people are taking the game to task for its use of AI-based text-to-speech systems.
