ARC Raiders has officially surpassed Battlefield 6 in total concurrent players on Steam. While ARC Raiders has only been out for less than two weeks, it has already garnered a massive following and seen a steadily increasing player count as positive community experiences and a solo player-friendly gameplay loop has attracted both new and veteran extraction shooter fans.
Although Battlefield 6 has held a similarly strong player count since it's launch on October 10 that was bolstered by the free-to-play battle royale mode Battlefield RedSec, ARC Raiders has defied the odds to beat one of the biggest shooter franchises out there in number of active players. Both Battlefield 6 and ARC Raiders have received very positive reviews overall, but ARC Raiders does have the edge with a more affordable price point of $40 versus Battlefield 6's $70. Even with Battlefield RedSec's free-to-play monetization model, ARC Raiders unique formula seems to be more popular among shooter fans.
