Market research firms have released performance projections for ARC Raiders. The estimated combined sales for PC and console are 2.5 million units, with projected revenue reaching $100 million (approximately 145.6 billion KRW). Analysts attribute the success of ARC Raiders to its ability to lower the barrier to entry by reducing the pressure of PvP, which is common in traditional extraction shooters, thereby securing broader appeal.

This data was released on November 7 by the market research firm Alinea Analytics. Of the 2.5 million units, the largest portion came from Steam, with over 1.7 million units sold, accounting for 69.2%. PlayStation followed with 17.3%, and Xbox recorded 13.5%. The peak DAU (Daily Active Users) on Steam is estimated to be over 1 million.

While extraction shooters have notable hits like 'Escape from Tarkov', the genre itself is relatively less mainstream compared to battle royales. According to data tracked by Alinea Analytics, about half of the users who played ARC Raiders on Steam had previously played Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, and Helldivers 2, while over 40% had played Left 4 Dead, Valheim, Peak, and Dead by Daylight.

Based on this, the research firm suggested that ARC Raiders likely succeeded by lowering PvP pressure and focusing on PvE centered around cooperation and community. They explained that extraction shooters, represented by Escape from Tarkov, can create high tension due to the nature of gameplay where cooperation and betrayal are rampant.

Although ARC Raiders includes PvP, it encourages players to help each other in early missions and promotes communication before high-level content begins. This gameplay aligns with the game's theme of 'rebuilding humanity' and contributes to the formation of a friendly community. The analysis firm concluded that this is why ARC Raiders has carved out its own niche and entered a growth trajectory.

Meanwhile, ARC Raiders will introduce new content in November and December. In November, a new region 'Stellar Montis', new community events, two types of Arcs, items, and quests will be added. In December, a new map environment, 'Blizzard', will be added along with new events, exploration projects, Raider decks, and quests. The exploration project is an 8-week seasonal cycle that opens at level 20.
