ARC Raiders, the sci-fi action game developed by Embark Studios, has sold more than 12 million copies across all platforms roughly two months after its launch, underscoring its position as one of the biggest video game successes of 2025.
The game, which launched on Oct. 30, crossed the milestone over the weekend, according to figures shared by Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott. Based on current sales, ARC Raiders has generated more than $350 million in revenue, Elliott said in a LinkedIn post.

Elliott noted that sales followed a typical post-launch pattern, with daily copies sold beginning to stabilize by early December. However, momentum returned following a temporary price reduction and increased consumer spending during the holiday period.
“Instead of continuing to slow down, ARC Raiders saw sales pick up again,” Elliott said, adding that a 20% discount across platforms combined with seasonal demand helped reverse the slowdown. He said Jan. 4 marked the game’s strongest day so far, with 3.2 million daily active users.

ARC Raiders has also maintained a strong presence on PC, ranking third on Steam’s Most Played charts behind Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2. The title sold more than 1.5 million copies within three days of release, reached 4 million within two weeks, and recently won the Steam Award for Most Innovative Gameplay.
