Arc Raiders Hits 462,488 Concurrent Players on Steam, Surpassing Helldivers 2

Word‑of‑mouth through big streams is propelling the paid extraction shooter’s unusual second‑week surge, with public counts reflecting Steam‑only tracking.

Overview

  • Arc Raiders set a new all‑time Steam concurrent peak of 462,488 on November 9, less than two weeks after its October 30 launch, according to SteamDB and Steam Charts.
  • The game’s peak overtook Helldivers 2’s all‑time Steam high of 458,709, marking a new benchmark for recent premium co‑op shooters on the platform.
  • Arc Raiders also topped Battlefield 6’s 24‑hour Steam peak on November 9 (441,035), though Battlefield 6 retains a higher all‑time launch peak overall.
  • The second‑week spike continued a rare post‑launch climb, beating both the launch‑day peak of about 264,673 and the first‑weekend highs above 350,000.
  • Alinea Analytics estimates roughly 69% of the player base is on Steam, with the remainder on PlayStation and Xbox, indicating broader engagement beyond Steam’s visible counts.
