Embark Studios shared a stats sheet on its ARC Raiders account showing which map players keep coming back to. The newest map, Stella Montis, has racked up more than 25 million visits according to the developer. That is a big number for a live service map. Stella Montis is a research facility in the game and it was added recently. The map’s mix of tight interior combat and high-value loot seems to be pulling players in again and again.
Congrats to every Raider who staked their claim on Stella Montis last week! 🏔️

ARC Raiders has been doing well since launch. Embark also noted a Steam peak above 700,000 concurrent players and said players have defeated more than 25,000 Matriarchs. Matriarchs are the giant spider like ARC minibosses that take groups to down, so that kill count shows squads are coordinating when needed. For players who want to hunt Stella Montis on purpose, the Best ARC Raiders Maps for Quests and Items guide covers where to look for specific loot and quest spawns.
The game received a single nomination at The Game Awards this year despite strong player numbers and attention. These usage stats make clear a lot of people are still logging in and playing the missions. If you like numbers and milestones, this is one worth bookmarking.
