ARC Raiders Sales Figures Reported as Game Continues to Gain Popularity a Year After Release

ARC Raiders has sold more than 17 million copies, publisher Nexon reported in its financial results for the third quarter of 2026.

Nexon sees potential for the game’s long-term growth, citing continued player interest a year after release. The publisher said the latest major update, Frozen Trail, attracted both new players and those who had stopped playing.

The shooter from Embark Studios launched in October 2025 and quickly became one of the most successful multiplayer games of recent years. Frozen Trail, released on October 8, 2026, was its largest update since launch. It added the Pendola Pass map, additional ARC enemies, weapons, and a revamped skill tree.

Nexon previously said that more than half of active users had spent at least 100 hours in ARC Raiders. Players’ total time in the game has exceeded 1.5 billion hours.

Nexon does not expect sales to keep growing indefinitely and has warned that revenue could decline. The company expects ARC Raiders revenue in the fourth quarter of 2026 to be lower than in the same period a year earlier, when the game launched, but roughly level with the third quarter of 2026. Discount promotions and revenue accounting will be among the factors affecting the result.
