Embark Studios’ extraction shooter Arc Raiders has set a new personal best just one week after breaking its previous record, reaching 462,488 concurrent players on Steam.
Embark Studios officially launched Arc Raiders on October 30. Within a day, the game hit 250,000 concurrent users. On November 2, the first weekend after launch, it climbed to 350,000 and entered 5th place on Steam’s concurrent player rankings. Riding strong word of mouth after an impressive debut week, Arc Raiders has now reset its own high-water mark barely seven days later.
On Sunday, November 9 (local time), Arc Raiders recorded 462,488 concurrent players on Steam. Even on weekdays, the title consistently posted daily peak concurrents above 300,000, and on Saturday, November 8, it surpassed 400,000 concurrent users, effectively breaking its own record ahead of Sunday’s new peak.
This trajectory stands out for outperforming early-launch hype. Live-service focused titles that grab attention in the current market often see their highest concurrency on day one followed by a gradual slide. Arc Raiders, however, set a higher concurrent peak in its second week, hinting at the potential for long-term momentum.
Game data analytics firm Alinea Analytics reported that roughly 70% of the game’s total player base is on Steam. Factoring in players on consoles and the Epic Games Store, the true cross-platform concurrency is expected to be significantly higher. On Steam, Arc Raiders currently holds an 89% positive rating, categorized as “Very Positive.”
