Arc Raiders tops 16 million sales and could be heading to China
Embark Studios’ extraction shooter Arc Raiders has achieved over 16 million units sold worldwide, according to publisher Nexon’s Q1 2026 fiscal report. The milestone was reached following the sale of an additional 4.6 million units in the first quarter ending March 31, 2026.
The game is demonstrating strong player engagement metrics. More than half of Arc Raiders’ active player base spent over 100 hours in-game during Q1, contributing to a combined 1.5 billion hours of playtime across the quarter. These figures underscore sustained interest in the extraction shooter beyond its initial launch period.
Nexon highlighted Arc Raiders as evidence of its capability to develop and scale global gaming franchises. The publisher characterized the title as among its most successful releases to date, reflecting both commercial performance and player retention.
While the article confirms Arc Raiders’ international presence, reporting also suggests the game could expand into the Chinese market, though further details on this potential expansion were not provided in the available information.
