According to a Business Wire report, the game sold 10 million copies by the end of 2025. Sales have recently increased thanks to discounts on consoles and PC. For instance, the PS5 version was 20% off on the PS Store during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Nexon’s CEO, Junghun Lee, announced impressive sales for ARC Raiders and believes the game could become a key part of Nexon’s future. He added that the game’s success confirms Nexon is making good progress with its plans to expand internationally.
Even though it used the older PSVR headset, the VR version of RE7 was a standout experience. Because the game was played from a first-person view, it translated well to virtual reality, and the increased immersion made the Baker Estate even more terrifying. The standard version was already one of the scariest in the series, but VR added a whole new level of dread. What was normally frightening – like going into the basement and facing the moldy creatures – became truly horrifying in VR.
I was so excited when this game finally came out last November 13th, and it was a huge hit right away – over 500,000 copies sold in just one week! And it didn’t stop there, it sold another 300,000 over the Christmas holidays, which is amazing!
The game was eventually released on the PS5 as Microsoft adjusted its plans for consoles. However, it didn’t receive much positive feedback, mainly because it was short and didn’t offer a lot of gameplay.

A user named @NerdTowerYT shared new information about the scrapped Black Cat movie that was being developed in 2021. They saw storyboards showing the origin of the Black Cat persona. The scene depicts the character attending a costume party dressed in goth attire, where she becomes upset and cries in the bathroom. She then intentionally smudges her makeup, creating the look that becomes the Black Cat’s signature ‘mask’ and marks her debut as the character.
