"Arc Raiders launches today across PC and console and it's already tearing up the charts on Steam. The influx of players means some are experiencing day-one server issues, even as the extraction shooter is propelled into the Valve-owned storefront's top-10 most-played games. Despite being $40, Embark Studios' latest PVPVE game is already climbing past free-to-play games like Naraka: Bladepoint and Apex Legends. It's currently ranked seventh overall with over 160,000 concurrent players and remains the best-selling game across all of Steam at the moment. Not bad for a Thursday release when most people are still at work or in school."
"But the initial flood of players did bring with it some early server problems. Some players got kicked from the game with a screen that read " online connection error" while others faced a problem called " network timeout" in which the game said it had failed to retrieve their data from the backend services. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like these issues were super widespread and they appear to be resolving as we get further from when Arc Raiders first went live earlier today."
Arc Raiders launched across PC and console and rapidly climbed Steam's most-played charts, surpassing several free-to-play titles while selling at $40. The game reached over 160,000 concurrent players at launch and later exceeded 216,000 concurrent players, becoming the best-selling title on Steam. Early player influx caused some day-one server problems, including "online connection error" and "network timeout" messages, but those issues appear not to be widespread and are resolving. The game is a PVPVE extraction shooter set in a late '70s/early '80s analog-styled post-apocalyptic world, featuring loot, PvP, and powerful AI machines called Arcs. Embark Studios developed the game and it holds over 80 percent positive reviews from early Steam feedback.
