How many people play ARC Raiders? Player count tracker (November 2025)

ARC Raiders is the new kid on the block when it comes to extraction shooters. Here’s how its player count is looking in case you’re thinking about jumping in.

If there’s one game that’s been making waves lately, it’s ARC Raiders. The extraction shooter only just launched, but it’s already shooting up the charts.

It’s gained so much traction that even popular streamer shroud said he’d rather see it win Game of the Year over Expedition 33.

Of course, the game still has some tough rivals in the extraction-shooter space, Escape from Tarkov among them, but if you’re wondering how ARC Raiders is doing numbers-wise, here’s what we know:

ARC Raiders player count

ARC Raiders currently has 333,421 concurrent players, according to SteamDB. It’s only slightly lower than its 24-hour peak, which is at 384,254.

Do keep in mind, however, that these numbers only apply to Steam. Since the game is also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and GeForce Now, it’s expected that the actual overall player count is even higher.

Peak player count

ARC Raiders peaked at 700,000 concurrent players, across all platforms, according to an announcement from Embark Studios posted on November 11, 2025.

“It’s been a little over one week since we opened up the tunnels for you to head Topside, and this past weekend we reached over 700,000 concurrent Raiders on the surface!” they wrote.

The game was already hitting impressive numbers before, but this was a big milestone. For comparison, ARC Raiders reportedly hit 100,000 concurrent players in just 30 minutes during launch week.

From then on, it kept climbing, reaching a peak of 459,483 on November 10, 2025, before devs revealed the new number. 

Player count compared to competitors

When stacked up against other shooters, ARC Raiders is performing surprisingly well. With over 333,000 concurrent players on Steam and a peak of more than 600,000 players in just a little over a week since launch, it’s already outpacing genre peers like Escape from Tarkov and even the parody hit Escape from Duckov.
