Reasons Behind Arc Raiders’ Popularity
"ARC Raiders is great because it focuses on community - NOT because it's an extraction shooter."
According to Elliott, the game’s emphasis on community engagement sets it apart from other extraction shooters that have not achieved similar sales or player counts.
Community and Player Overlap with Other Games

This significant overlap suggests that the community-driven approach of Arc Raiders resonates well with players of other cooperative games.
