Arc Raiders Sales Reach 2.5 Million Copies
According to industry analyst Rhy Elliott from Alinea Analytics, Arc Raiders may have already sold over 2.5 million copies. This impressive figure reportedly translates to more than $100 million in revenue for developer Embark Studios.
Sales Distribution Across Platforms
- Approximately 69.2% of sales are from Steam users, according to Alinea Analytics.
- 17.3% of the player base is estimated to be on PlayStation.
- 13.5% of players are on Xbox.
Reasons Behind Arc Raiders' Popularity
"ARC Raiders is great because it focuses on community - NOT because it's an extraction shooter."
Elliott highlighted that the game’s strong community focus sets it apart from other extraction shooters, potentially driving its success.
Player Crossover with Other Games
Elliott also noted significant overlap between Arc Raiders players and players of other cooperative games:
- About half of Arc Raiders’ Steam players have also played Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, and Helldivers 2.
- Over 40% have experience with R.E.P.O, Valheim, PEAK, and Dead by Daylight.
This crossover of player bases might contribute to the game's thriving community and success.
