ARC Raiders is seeing huge numbers in its first days on the surface, with concurrent players right now and a 24-hour peak of 384,254. The Steam figure comes from the SteamDB seven-day chart for ARC Raiders, which tracks concurrent players on the platform. That number only covers PC on Steam. ARC Raiders is also live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and streaming services, so the total audience is larger than the Steam snapshot.
Embark Studios reported a peak of 700,000 concurrent Raiders across all platforms during launch week. That milestone arrived within about a week of the game opening access and is a clear sign of strong launch momentum for a new IP. For context, the game hit 100,000 concurrent players in about 30 minutes during launch week and climbed from there to multi-hundred-thousand peaks. Seen against other multiplayer shooters, the numbers are striking for a brand-new extraction title
That puts ARC Raiders on par with major franchise shooters in raw concurrent traffic early on and well ahead of other extraction-style rivals measured by Steam numbers alone. Prominent concurrent peaks matter for matchmaking, server stability, and the longevity of in-game economies and events. High launch population gives the developer more runway to test features and tune balance with a bigger sample of player data.
