Extraction shooter ARC Raiders was a major release last year. However, despite its scale, it turns out that the game’s developers, Embark Studio, managed to produce the title on a budget of $75 million.
In the most recent SIFTD Games video, industry analyst Michael Pachter shared a “little secret,” revealing that Embark Studio developed the game for that amount, including marketing costs. The development timeline is equally impressive: according to Pachter, the game was completed in three years. The analyst went on to note that ARC Raiders has already generated $500 million.
