Arc Raiders Hits 185K Concurrent Players on Steam

Arc Raiders' server-slam playtest saw over 185,000 concurrent players on Steam, significantly surpassing expectations. The test runs ahead of the game’s official launch on October 30, 2025.

Current Player Stats

The playtest ranks Arc Raiders fourth in concurrent player numbers on Steam, outperforming popular titles like PUBG and Rust. With additional playtests on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the total number is likely higher.

Technical Adjustments

Embark Studios implemented a hotfix shortly after the test started to resolve initial crashes and errors. Although the fix initially required a complete redownload, the studio assured that such measures should not recur.

Upcoming Test Day Expectations

Steam player counts are anticipated to rise as North America enters peak gaming hours. If Embark Studios maintains server stability, it could lead to a smooth launch at the end of the month.
