Arc Raiders Has Sold Nearly 16 Million Copies in Under 2 Years

It's no secret that Arc Raiders has become a big deal in the gaming scene since its October 2025 launch, garnering over 480,000 peak concurrent players on Steam alone at its peak shortly after launch and returning to similar highs in January 2026. Now, however, a recent financial filing by Nexon, the parent company of the game studio behind Arc Raiders, has confirmed this success. According to the Nexon's March financial statement, Arc Raiders has accumulated a lifetime sales figure of 15.5 million copies across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with as many as 4.6 million units sold in Q1 2026 alone. This makes Arc Raiders the most successful game in Nexon's history, according to the studio.

Nexon also revealed that Arc Raiders's player retention is strong, with players having spent a cumulative 1.5 billion hours in-game, at an average of 100 hours per player. The Finals, Embark's other shooter, also saw significant growth in Q1 2026, although Nexon declined to share sales figures for the older game. Nexon also confirmed that it has obtained licensing in China and is planning multiple beta tests for Arc Raiders in 2026. It also plans to hook new players to Arc Raiders and bring back players who have since moved on with the October Frozen Trail update, which will deliver new free and premium content.
