Gamers claim they hate AI but just bought twelve million copies of this shooter. ARC Raiders smashed past that sales figure over the weekend per Alinea Analytics data. Analyst Rhys Elliot posted that the extraction title also hit a daily active user record of 3.2 million players yesterday. People spent the last hours of winter break grinding instead of touching grass.

The project launched back in October 2025 and immediately pulled 200,000 concurrent users on Steam alone. Sales hit 2.5 million in week one and broke 4 million days later. Momentum never really stopped despite constant drama surrounding Embark Studios utilizing GenAI tools.

Google listed it as the most searched video game last year. Steam ranked the release among the top earners for 2025 revenue. Concurrent counts rarely dip below 250,000 active sessions since debut. SteamDB shows around 240,000 people playing right this second. That controversy clearly means nothing to the actual player base.
