Arc Raiders, a breakout hit in 2025, continues to be a huge success. According to new data from Alinea Analytics, the game enjoyed its biggest day ever on Sunday, January 4, with 3.2 million daily active users across platforms. Additionally, the research group reported that Arc Raiders passed 12 million copies sold over the weekend. The number of Arc Raiders copies sold daily began to 'stabilize' in early December, but the recent 20%-off sale has given the game a significant boost.

The game's success can be attributed to its engaging gameplay and the use of AI in its development process. Patrick Söderlund, the head of Arc Raiders studio Embark, has defended the use of AI in game development, stating that it allows the studio to make better games more efficiently. He also pushed back against the idea that using AI systems in game development would lead to lower employment at Embark.

Arc Raiders' success is a testament to the power of innovative game development and the importance of staying true to one's vision. As the game continues to break records and attract new players, it's clear that Arc Raiders is here to stay.
