Embark Shares ARC Raiders Player Stats From the Game’s First Year

ARC Raiders is celebrating its first anniversary because the game launched on October 30, 2025. To mark the occasion, Embark Studios published an infographic with the year’s most interesting stats. It covers everything from the total number of raids and ARC destroyed to how much food players fed Scrappy.

In the first year, players played 6 billion rounds and destroyed more than 14.8 billion ARC. The game’s toughest enemies got plenty of attention too: players took down 3,920,595 Queens and 2,919,521 Matriarchs. The Anvil pistol was the most popular weapon among raiders.

The stats also show that ARC Raiders has its share of friendly players. The record for most strangers healed in a single raid is 18, and one player healed 5,643 other raiders in total. Meanwhile, around 3,625 raiders died after being hit by a volcanic rock.

Scrappy, the rooster who helps players gather resources, got his own spot in the stats. Over the year, players fed him 6,800 tonnes of food, and apricots turned out to be his favorite.

In its first year, ARC Raiders became one of the most successful multiplayer shooters in recent years. By early 2026, the game had sold more than 14 million copies, and concurrent players were approaching 1 million. Embark keeps supporting the game: update 2.2 came out recently, and the studio is considering a permanent PvE mode. It has promised to announce a decision in November.
