  "account": "Arc Raiders' PvE test, which allowed for only a week of enjoyment, has concluded. The test attracted over 30 million rounds, a significant amount of data for the studio to analyze. While many players appreciated the break from PvP, Embark needs time to understand the implications and determine if PvE should be incorporated into the game permanently. The team is seeking player feedback via Discord and survey to gather more insights. Despite the polarizing nature of the test, the studio believes the data could validate the addition of PvE, ultimately improving the game's health and player experience.",
