ARC Raiders: over 350,000 concurrent players and connection issues

The ARC Raiders phenomenon is definitely taking off! The title from Embark Studios is proving to be a huge success and is already achieving impressive figures.

SteamDB reports that the game peaked at 354,836 simultaneous players on Valve's platform alone. This performance puts ARC Raiders at the top of Steam's trends and in fifth place among the most played titles of the moment.

Unfortunately, this influx led to various technical issues on Sunday, November 2, 2025. The servers were simply overwhelmed, and the developers had to implement a queue system. Crossplay was also temporarily disabled to streamline connection requests.

Fortunately, these issues were quickly resolved.
