When only a month has passed since its debut, Arc Raiders keep scoring achievements; many at the expense of rivals like Battlefield 6 or Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

In addition to having already surpassed four million copies and reached numbers of users that are a scandal, the game continues to sweep the PS5, Xbox Series and PC.

It was the boost the extraction shooter genre needed; in truth, User interest has reached a new high to find out what’s new from Embark Studios.

Arc Raiders is the most searched game in 2025

Google published its list of global trends in 2025, and In the games section there is a clear winner: Arc Raiders. This is the complete list:

  1. ARC Invaders
  2. Battlefield 6
  3. Wires
  4. Divided fiction
  5. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
  6. Path of Exile 2
  7. Grand theft auto 6
  8. Pokémon Legends: ZA
  9. minecraft
  10. Roblox

It is surprising to see the furore triggered by this title, given that Premiered on October 30thbut it has been enough to surpass other games in searches.

Equally impressive is seeing that GTA 6 is in seventh position, or that Arc Raiders surpasses other heavy hitters like Minecraft or Roblox. But there is an explanation.

GTA 6 won’t go on sale until November 2026 (hopefully). Other than the spikes due to news of its delays or the latest trailer, there is no new information about the game.

Instead, Arc Raiders are making waves. Users look for strategies, guides, tricks and even cheatswhich allows them to enjoy this shooting game more.

From meta-secrets to weapon recommendations, all information is little when it comes to making the most of games.

Even the news contributes to Arc Raiders research; some as unusual as the game’s South Park cameo or the anecdote a user experienced with the police.

It’s the same reason why Battlefield 6 is in second place; and also justifies seeing Split Fiction or Clair Obscur in the middle of the list: They are linear games, without constant content updates.

Arc Raiders will continue to grow in 2026with the arrival of new content that Embark is already preparing. Will it once again be among the most searched next year?
