This week, Embark Studios released ARC Raiders, offering players a fresh multiplayer extraction shooter to dive into. The response has been impressive, with the game attracting more than 180,000 players on PC alone on its very first day.

Concurrent player numbers for ARC Raiders on PC are tracked by SteamDB, which began monitoring the game upon its public debut this week. According to SteamDB, the player count has surpassed 188,000 and continues to rise.

Approaching 200,000 players is a significant achievement for a new IP, especially during a month that also saw releases from big-name franchises like Call of Duty and Battlefield. ARC Raiders appears to be winning over gamers with its engaging blend of looting, PvE, and PvP gameplay—offering both solo and squad-based shooting experiences.

Having had the chance to try out the game in an early preview, I can confirm it provides an enjoyable experience. Whether playing alone or with teammates, the thrill of strategizing and grabbing gear keeps the gameplay exciting and rewarding.
