Today, Embark Studios can officially confirm that ARC Raiders has surpassed 12 million Raiders worldwide across all platforms – a major milestone for the studio’s multiplayer extraction adventure set in a world reclaimed by nature and ruled by the relentless ARC.

Since launch, ARC Raiders has continued to grow through regular updates, technical refinements, and a long-term commitment to preserving a fair, competitive, and rewarding experience for Raiders going topside to explore the evolving frontier.

“Reaching 12 million downloads is a milestone we owe entirely to the players,” said Aleksander Grøndal, Executive Producer of ARC Raiders at Embark Studios. “The community of Raiders has helped shape this game from the very beginning, and their passion, feedback, and ingenuity continue to guide how we build, support, and grow this world for the long term.”

To celebrate the milestone and thank the global Raider community – intended as a gift to Raiders for helping Embark Studios reach the 10 million downloads milestone, which was quickly surpassed – Embark is offering a free in-game reward, the Gilded Pickaxe is available to all players for a limited time.

ARC Raiders is developed with a focus on long-term engagement, delivering high-stakes encounters that reward awareness, teamwork – or solo work, and skill. Ongoing updates continue to refine systems, strengthen the game’s foundation, and ensure the experience remains challenging, competitive, and rewarding for Raiders.

The world of Speranza continues to evolve. Embark Studios will be sharing more details on future updates and new content in the months ahead. Raiders are encouraged to stay tuned to ARC Raiders’ official channels for upcoming announcements and developments.
