The latest and greatest shooter game has arrived, and Raiders everywhere are heading topside for loot while dealing with massive robotic threats and other humans.
Welcome to ARC Raiders, where your experience is only as good as the loot you find, the teammates you befriend, or the enemies you make in a post-apocalyptic world taken over by terrifying robotic enemies called ARC.
The new game from Embark Studios (makers of The Finals) is off to a big start despite releasing around several other big-name shooter games. But just how many players are logging on for expeditions to find loot and fight bots?
Here's everything we know so far about how many players are playing ARC Raiders.
ARC Raiders player count
In the hours following ARC Raiders' launch on Oct. 30, 2025, over 200,000 players are online on Steam. This does not include players on PS5 or Xbox, so the overall number is likely way larger and will only climb throughout its opening weekend.
You can see the active player count on any Steam game by checking out the game's Community Hub page. A website known as SteamDB also tracks concurrent players and shows a history of it, so you can stay in tuned with how many players are online at any given time on Steam. But as far as other platforms go, that information is not readily available.
For official full player count numbers, Embark Studios will likely have to reveal or make an announcement since concurrent players are not public knowledge. But the game's success on day one bodes well for more players to join in over the coming weeks and months as the game expands with new content and story beats.
Congrats to Embark on a successful launch, and be prepared to see that number climb steadily very soon.
