About 30% of Arc Raiders players focus on PvE, and Embark's happy with that: 'We want to instil hope in the player'

Here is the conversation around Arc Raiders, presented as a play in one act. Player One: "I like the PvE, and I only want to experience the PvE." Player Two: "I like the PvP actually and I should be allowed to shoot you." Player One: "You're toxic." Player Two: "No, you're toxic." Curtains.

According to figures Embark Studios has shared with the Guardian, the same percentage of Arc Raiders players are focused on the co-op as the PvP. It's roughly 30% for each, with the leftover 40% in the "why not both" camp.
