Arc Raiders Sales Estimates
Industry analyst Rhy Elliott from Alinea Analytics reports that Arc Raiders may have sold over 2.5 million copies, generating more than $100 million in revenue for developer Embark Studios.
Sales Distribution by Platform
- Approximately 69.2% of players are on Steam.
- About 17.3% of the playerbase uses PlayStation.
- Close to 13.5% play on Xbox.
Reasons Behind Arc Raiders' Popularity
ARC Raiders is great because it focuses on community - NOT because it's an extraction shooter.
Elliott highlights that community focus is the key factor differentiating Arc Raiders from other extraction shooters, which have not achieved similar sales or player numbers.
