Radian Arc, VNPT and Blacknut Launch GPU Infrastructure in Vietnam to Power Cloud Gaming and AI — Arc Expansion Underway
Who, what, when, where, why: Radian Arc, VNPT and Blacknut have launched GPU infrastructure in Vietnam to enable cloud gaming and AI services; arc is explicitly central to the announced capability. The deployment sits in Vietnam and aims to power cloud streaming and AI workloads. Players are also seeing immediate game-side changes as ARC Raiders pushes Patch Notes 1. 18. 0 and requires client restarts to receive updates.
Arc infrastructure and cloud gaming push
The joint launch by Radian Arc, VNPT and Blacknut establishes GPU infrastructure in Vietnam designed to support cloud gaming streams and AI services. The announcement names the three organizations as the parties behind the deployment and frames the work as enabling cloud-based gaming and artificial intelligence functionality in the Vietnamese market. The technical focus is on GPU capacity and the ability to stream games or run AI workloads remotely rather than on local machines.
Radian Arc, VNPT and Blacknut are presented together in the announcement as collaborators on the infrastructure buildout. The public description highlights cloud gaming and AI services as the intended use cases for the newly available GPU resources in Vietnam, with the infrastructure positioned to serve both consumer streaming and computational workloads.
Patch Notes 1. 18. 0: immediate client action and access requirements
There’s a new update rolling out right now for ARC Raiders: Patch Notes 1. 18. 0. Players are instructed to restart their client to download the update. Access to the game requires an internet connection, an Embark ID user account (age 13+), a third-party platform account, and acceptance of the Embark Terms of Service and End User License Agreement. The patch note text emphasizes these account and age conditions as prerequisites for play.
The ARC Raiders material also sets expectations for the game economy: Raider Tokens are identified as an in-game currency that can be used to obtain raider decks, bundles, or cosmetic items including outfits, backpacks, charms, emotes and Scrappy outfits. Trademark and copyright lines name Embark Studios AB and list related platform partners and trademark holders as part of the published update material.
What this means next
The dual announcements place infrastructure and content on parallel tracks: the Radian Arc, VNPT and Blacknut GPU rollout targets backend capacity for cloud gaming and AI, while ARC Raiders’ Patch Notes 1. 18. 0 updates the front-end player experience and economy. Operators and players should expect ongoing technical integration work to follow the infrastructure launch and immediate client-side activity as the ARC Raiders update completes on player machines.
Observers should watch for further technical details from the named organizations about capacity, service availability and integration points; players should restart clients now to receive Patch Notes 1. 18. 0 and confirm account and platform requirements are met.
