According to Alinea Analytics’ Rhys Elliott, ARC Raiders sales have surpassed 12 million copies sold worldwide. Elliott also reported that the game has generated over $350 million in revenue and reached 3.2 million active users as of January 4. Additionally, 53.5 percent of the copies sold were on Steam, while PS5 and Xbox accounted for 25.5 and 21 percent, respectively. The analyst claimed that while sales for the game stabilized in early December, a “well-timed twenty percent discount across all platforms” coupled with the holiday season helped boost sales. Embark Studios has not officially updated the game’s sales figures since announcing 4 million copies sold back in November. ARC Raiders launched on October 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
So ARC Raiders passed 12M copies sold over the weekend (Alinea estimates). Yesterday was its biggest day ever by DAUs (3.2M).Daily copies sold started to stabilise by early Dec, but a well-timed 20% discount across all platforms – and the holiday boost – reversed that.What a ride.

The game’s details:
Enlist
ARC Raiders is a cooperative third-person shooter where you and your squad of Raiders unite to resist the onslaught of ARC—a ruthless, mechanized threat descending from space.
You play as one of the Raiders, a rogue group of resistance fighters. With the help of a patchwork early warning system, you fight to protect our home against enemies dropping from orbit. ARC is faceless and unfeeling, but no one could accuse ARC of being unresponsive. In fact, ARC responds to resistance with ever-increasing destruction.
Resist
As a Raider, you know that defeating ARC requires more than simply pointing and shooting a gun, and more than one person trying to be a hero. When ARC is around, lone wolves never make it very far.
As underdogs, we need to believe in something bigger than our own strength, in something unapologetically human. That’s why we come together. United amid the unlikelihood of success, what seemed implausible may just become the best course of action. So, by all means, come prepared and plan ahead, but sometimes you just have to wing it.
Jump right into the fray in a free-to-play world.
Scavenge the ruins of the past. Wield tools and gadgets to outsmart the enemy. Use on-the-fly tactics, your surroundings, and physics to your advantage. If you and your squad play well together, one day the stars may again become beacons of hope, instead of omens of oblivion.
Reimagine the Third-Person Shooter – Go beyond simply matching ammo to a weapon. Experience action where combat demands unrehearsed creativity.
Reimagine Cooperation – ARC pursues you relentlessly, but together you can overcome these faceless foes. Fight, flee, and fine-tune, shoulder to shoulder with your squad.
