ARC Raiders player count plummets post-launch, future updates eyed

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Embark Studios' game ARC Raiders has experienced a significant drop in player count since its launch, falling from a peak of 400,000 concurrent players to around 30,000. Despite this decline, the game's developer has committed to bi-annual updates, with the next major update, Frozen Trail, scheduled for October 8th. While the drop-off is notable for a live-service game, it's possible the current player numbers align with Embark's initial expectations, especially considering the performance of their other title, The Finals.
