Anthony Westerfield KondeatiGUEST
And then in my personal opinion, I think there's Embark.
Anthony Westerfield KondeatiGUEST
Embark Studios, right? Basically the team that made Battlefield 3 and 4.
Anthony Westerfield KondeatiGUEST
Right? Those guys are brilliant.
Anthony Westerfield KondeatiGUEST
Patrick Soderlund is brilliant.
HopeHOST
My top tip: keep an eye out for promotions from 2K's official channels, as they frequently reward engaged players with bonus items and in-game currency.
HopeHOST
Meanwhile, the latest Arc Raiders update, version one point four five point zero from Embark Studios, introduces Expedition five and delivers sweeping changes to the cred system.
HopeHOST
Players will notice a major overhaul of the reward structure, especially in the Frozen Trail scenario, where new risk versus reward mechanics encourage adaptive gameplay.
HopeHOST
The aim is to keep expeditions feeling fresh, boost long-term engagement, and mitigate stagnation that's plagued some rival shooters.
The Salty NerdHOST
Just, just for context, Tim, the tap man on Twitch has 7.6 million followers.
The Salty NerdHOST
Uh, and he revealed recently that he turned down a six figure sponsorship to play our graders, uh, the extraction shooter from embark studios.
The Salty NerdHOST
So here's a clip of, uh, exactly that happening.
TimTheTatmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If that Ark Raiders deal was seven figures, hey, boys, welcome back to Ark Raiders and Subway.
Linus SebastianHOST
People running into the problem have experienced game freezes, crashes, and in extreme cases, full PC restarts.
Linus SebastianHOST
While Microsoft is still investigating, Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios has published a quick workaround.
Linus SebastianHOST
They traced the issue to the inputx64 driver and shared instructions on how to delete the file.
Linus SebastianHOST
It's worth noting, though, that all the outlets that are recirculating this workaround are quick to say that you do so at your own risk.
Todd the GatorHOST
And this is the one I've been waiting to talk about.
Todd the GatorHOST
Embark Studios officially confirmed that Frozen Trail update.
Todd the GatorHOST
This is the major update coming to Ark Raiders will launch on October 8th, 2026.
Todd the GatorHOST
This marks the game's largest content expansion since launch.
MikeHOST
Or it's cost, but it does seem kind of like madness.
MikeHOST
Whereas the guys in Embark Studios are still saying, even though they're testing out a PVE mode in the Chinese market, they're saying that it will not come to the West.
MattHOST
Mm-hmm.
MikeHOST
Which I think is disappointing.
MikeHOST
I don't know.
MikeHOST
And people I jumped quickly onto Reddit and people were saying oh yeah we could do like Destiny strikes and raids and that would all be so cool.
MikeHOST
I think those are the things that embark studios really don't want to do and those are the really expensive things to do right so i guess they're stuck in a bit of a pickle that's not that's not much of a rant really i guess i just i think that it's fascinating watching these two companies with superficially such similar products going completely different directions and It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Marathon karks it and takes Bungie with it, but it's also not beyond the realms of possibility if they can get a workable PVE mode that does have something like Strikes and Raids, which is kind of what they're working on now with the Vault Breaker PVE mode.
MikeHOST
It's met with a sort of mixed reception, it's on the right track, but there's problems with Marathon, just the interface is really, really busy and... there's a whole bunch of things that i need to fix but having played halo so much in the last uh week or so last few days really if they've got any of the old bungees dna they've still got it in them to do it they still have greatness within them i i just hope they can i really hope they can they can get there so you know companies listen to what your players want give them what they want and you won't have a chance of surviving not they should ditch your artistic vision not they should just respond to chase the latest trend but i think as i was alluding to last week the businesses they've got to make business business decisions and i hope they both of these companies make good ones My rave is for good, cheap audio gear.
RayHOST
We'll come to that with the new game that's coming out.
RayHOST
I think we're already at the point where we're kind of getting the hint that Embark Studios are really good at launching games and less good at maintaining them.
RayHOST
So to split the current dev team, and it would require a split, to rebalance a PVE mode with different events, different rewards, different economy, I think that would be really difficult for that team.
RayHOST
And I think it's one of those issues like, so none of us like getting ratted.
