Arc Raiders May Have Sold 2.5 Million Copies, Industry Analyst Says

Industry analyst Rhy Elliott from Alinea Analytics reports that Arc Raiders may have exceeded 2.5 million copies sold, generating over $100 million in revenue for developer Embark Studios.

Sales Breakdown by Platform

About 69.2% of the players are on Steam, making it the dominant platform for the game.
PlayStation accounts for 17.3% of the player base.
Xbox players make up 13.5% of the remaining audience.

Reasons Behind Arc Raiders' Popularity

"ARC Raiders is great because it focuses on community - NOT because it's an extraction shooter."
— Rhy Elliott, Alinea Analytics

Elliott emphasizes that the game's strong community focus sets it apart from other extraction shooters, which have not achieved similar success in sales or player engagement.

Player Crossover With Other Cooperative Games

"Our crossover estimates show that about half of ARC Raiders players on Steam have also played Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, and Helldivers 2, respectively. And over 40% have played R.E.P.O, Valheim, PEAK, and Dead by Daylight."
— Rhy Elliott, Alinea Analytics

This overlap with popular cooperative titles likely contributes to the game's community-driven appeal and broad player base.
