Arc Raiders player-numbers rebound with the launch of Frozen Trail and the game's 2.0 release, but they might be deceptively high

Arc Raiders has clearly managed to entice back lapsed players with its latest update, Frozen Trail, which upgrades the game to version 2.0. Many players see it as a re-launch of the popular extraction shooter, and the numbers back that up. On Steam, Arc Raiders' concurrent player counts rose sharply following the update's release, shooting up to a 185,443 peak (via SteamDB ). This is the highest concurrent player count Arc Raiders has seen since March, and it's notably higher than the game's usual sub-40,000 daily peaks.
