The game from Embark Studios quickly won over the audience: high sales, an active community, regular updates, and rare respect from players.
According to analysts, ARC Raiders has topped the Steam player engagement ranking in the US for many weeks in a row, and sales and activity figures show that the game is capable of maintaining its leadership throughout the year. Even if Counter-Strike temporarily takes the title of leader of the week, the overall trend is clear: this is not a one-time surge.
Circana Player Engagement Tracker confirms that ARC Raiders has held the first place on Steam for the ninth week in a row. The only franchise that can really compete is GTA VI with GTA Online, but the exact release details are still unknown.
