This week, Embark Studios released **ARC Raiders**, offering players a fresh multiplayer extraction shooter to dive into. And dive in they have—ARC Raiders has attracted over 180,000 players on PC alone on its first day, marking a strong debut for Embark’s new title.
The concurrent player numbers for ARC Raiders on PC can be tracked via SteamDB, which began monitoring the game since its public launch this week. According to SteamDB, ARC Raiders has surpassed 188,000 players, with numbers continuing to climb in the hours following release.
Approaching 200,000 players is an impressive feat for a new IP, especially in a month crowded with heavy hitters like Call of Duty and Battlefield. ARC Raiders appears to be winning over players with its blend of looting, PvE, and PvP gameplay—offering both solo and squad-based shooting action.
I had the chance to try the game in an early preview and found it quite engaging. Whether playing solo or with teammates, the thrill of strategizing, looting, and battling felt rewarding and kept me coming back for more.
