Arc Raiders Sets Third Straight Steam Peak at 481,966 Players

New content drops plus a swiftly completed community event powered the rise.

Overview

  • The extraction shooter reached a new Steam concurrent peak of 481,966 on November 16, marking a third consecutive weekend of record growth.
  • On Steam this weekend, Arc Raiders outpaced Battlefield 6 (299,135 peak) and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (about 100,000 peak) as tracked by SteamDB.
  • The latest surge followed rapid post-launch additions including the Stella Montis map unlock via a community challenge completed in under two days, along with recent matchmaking and cosmetic price tweaks.
  • Its new high places Arc Raiders within Steam’s top roughly 25 all-time peak concurrent player records, according to SteamDB/Steam Charts reporting.
  • Direct comparisons to rival shooters are limited by distribution differences, since Arc Raiders’ figures reflect Steam only while competitors also draw players on other PC storefronts and console ecosystems.
