Record-Breaking Sales and Continuing Success
Recent data indicates that ARC Raiders sold nearly 750,000 copies in the week of November 16-22. The game’s sales are split between Steam and console platforms like PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with each accounting for half of the total numbers.

As discussions on the impact of generative AI in gaming continue, ARC Raiders’ success offers a fascinating case study.
Indie Games and Critical Recognition
Aside from ARC Raiders, the Steam charts were dominated by indie titles. Following ARC Raiders in November sales were RV There Yet? with 1.9 million copies, and Peak with 1.4 million copies. Dispatch and Escape from Duckov rounded out the top five. Despite its commercial success, ARC Raiders did not secure nominations for Game of the Year at major awards like the Golden Joysticks and The Game Awards, where it is only recognized in the best multiplayer category. The competition remains fierce with titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight Silksong, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
