Helldivers 2’s Success Helped Shape Arc Raiders’ Cheaper $40 Price Tag #arcraiders #gaming

Arc Raiders was originally conceived as a free-to-play title, but Embark Studios pivoted to a paid model and set the price at $40 — a decision the team attributes directly to seeing how well Helldivers 2 performed with a similar pricing strategy. The goal was to offer players a not-too-expensive, premium multiplayer experience that feels worth the cost even without a traditional single-player campaign, and avoid pricing that might feel like a barrier to entry.

In recent interviews, Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund explained that the studio “looked at games like Helldivers” when deciding where to position Arc Raiders’ business model, settling on $40 as the sweet spot that respects players’ wallets while still valuing the game’s quality. This approach has paid off quickly: Arc Raiders has sold millions of copies and captured a large player base shortly after launch, proving that premium pricing can still succeed in a market dominated by free-to-play shooters.
