Intel: 12 Million Raiders Strong

Crowded House

The data crunchers over at Alinea Analytics—who are usually spot-on with these things—just dropped a massive stat. It looks like ARC Raiders has officially crossed 12 million copies sold across all platforms. If you felt like the extraction zones were chaos this weekend, you were right.

• LIFETIME SALES: Est. 12 Million copies sold.
• BIGGEST DAY: January 4th set a record with ~3.2 million active players.
• PLATFORMS: 50% of all Raiders are playing on Steam.
• REVENUE: Estimated to have generated over $350 million.

Fresh Meat

Why the sudden spike? That 20% holiday discount did the trick. A huge wave of new players picked up the game over Christmas, reversing the usual post-launch dip. So if you see a squad of default skins looking confused in the Buried City... maybe cut them some slack. Or don't. I'm not your boss.

Reliable Intel

While Embark hasn't opened their books officially, these analysts correctly predicted the 2.5m milestone and the Battlefield 6 sales figures recently. It's safe to say ARC isn't slowing down anytime soon.
