Newest ARC Raiders sales numbers illustrate its staggering popularity, and it somehow only got bigger throughout the holidays

It’s no secret to any gamer in the know these days how fun and popular ARC Raiders has become, but some new numbers to back up that fact today surprised even me.

Before I could finish wiping the crust from my eyes after my winter break (it was restful other than a pesky head cold, but I thankfully avoided the game’s frostbite mechanic), Alinea Analytics posted a new report on just how big ARC Raiders has become, and how it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Alinea’s head of market analysis, Rhys Elliot, posted the image above to showcase that the company estimates that ARC Raiders has sold over 12 million copies across Steam, Xbox, and PS5 in just over two months since it launched. Not only that, but the game reached a new record for daily active users just yesterday, Jan. 4, with over 3.2 million players across all platforms.

The company estimates that ARC Raiders has generated over $350 million in revenue, but it’s unclear if that includes in-game microtransactions or not. Either way, the extraction shooter has been a huge success for Embark Studios, and what feels like one of the biggest new IP in quite some time.

Elliott remarked that “daily copies sold started to stabilize by early December, but a well-timed 20 percent discount across all platforms – and the holiday boost – reversed that.” And so now, heading into 2026, gamers everywhere are waiting to see what’s next to pop up on the roadmap for the live-service title.

After last month’s Cold Snap update, the team at Embark likely headed home for some well-deserved rest, but players thirsty for more missions, weapons, ARC enemies, and potentially new maps are holding on to see when and what to expect from the title that’s been captivating multiplayer gamers since it dropped in October.

Are you still enjoying your time in ARC Raiders? I took a hiatus from gaming over the vacation (something much-needed in this lucky profession of mine), but I’ve heard calls to join topside expeditions from my casual gaming friends, and that’s how I really know how big this title has become.

The Classifieds Magazine in My Winter Car can be immensely useful if you’re looking to buy different parts.

The Corris Rivett is available as the first buildable project, and it has plenty of parts for you to build. Some of the parts can be pretty expensive, and that’s where the Classifieds Magazine comes in. You can use its advertorials to get used parts that cost half of their new counterparts.

How to get used parts in My Winter Car

The first task is to get a Classifieds Magazine to access the advertorial section. This section has a bunch of second-hand parts on offer for you to buy. You can also obtain new parts that might appear at random. You’ll find an applicable phone number associate with these parts.

The next task is to go home and call the number. Wait for the call to disconnect. If the item is available, your order has been placed. Wait for a couple of in-game days for the part you ordered to arrive. Once you have ordered a specific part, you can’t repeat the process with the magazine.

The parts you’re looking for might not be listed on the classifieds. If that happens, wait for the weekly refresh to get new offers. You’ll, however, need to buy a new Classifieds Magazine to go through the new adverts.

Additionally, you can also sell the parts that you bought from the Flea market. This is immensely useful if you accidentally end up getting a part that you might not want to fit into the Corris Rivett.

How to get a new Classifieds Magazine in My Winter Car

Buying a Classifieds Magazine is really simple. You’ll need to visit the PSK Fuel Station and spend 15 mk. Getting the magazine is necessary to view the adverts. Make sure to get a new one after the weekly reset to find out all the new stuff that might be on offer.
