ARC Raiders Surpasses 150,000 Concurrent Players on Steam

The ARC Raiders Server Slam is off to a massive start. Embark’s upcoming extraction shooter has already passed 150,000 concurrent players on Steam, showing just how much interest there is ahead of its launch later this month.

A Strong Start for ARC Raiders

According to the latest data on SteamDB, the Server Slam playtest already reached over 150,000 players online at the same time shortly after opening. That is a huge milestone for a game that has not even officially launched yet.

ARC Raiders is currently trending on Steam’s top-played list as well, joining titles like The Finals and Helldivers 2 in the live service spotlight. With the test open for everyone this weekend, those numbers could climb even higher.

What Comes Next

The Server Slam continues through the weekend, letting players stress-test servers and experience early content for free. Feedback from this event will help Embark prepare for the game’s full release later this month, on October 30, 2025.

If you want to jump in, you can download the ARC Raiders Playtest build on Steam or find the Server Slam version on PlayStation and Xbox.
