Insider Gaming reports that Frozen Trail, ARC Raiders' first-anniversary update, has pushed the extraction shooter to a 24-hour Steam peak of 131,388 concurrent players, its highest since the Riven Tides update in April 2026.
The outlet calls it the game's largest update, with a new map, a big set of new weapons and ARC enemies, and revised gameplay mechanics. GameSpot adds that the game is back near the top of Steam in both best sellers and most played, and that developer Embark had warned the update would take several months to arrive.
