Arc Raiders is a extensively identified multiplayer-only shooter that in contrast to most AAA video games, which for a lot of it falls beneath, it stays at $40, one thing that gamers can — not less than partially — thank Helldivers 2 for.

They checked out how video games like Helldivers did issues and realized they need to make it extra reasonably priced and make sure the recreation could be well worth the asking worth.
“It’s one thing we mentioned as the sport went from free-to-play to a conventional enterprise mannequin. We principally checked out video games like Helldivers and different video games and determined, ‘OK, that’s the place we should always sit.’
We made that call, whether or not that was proper or mistaken one can argue. I like the truth that the sport is comparatively reasonably priced and that folks can are available and take a look at the sport.”
Contemplating how profitable Arc Raiders is, we’d say it was in all probability for one of the best.
