I’d like to propose that BK officially support Arc Raiders at least as a trial title.
Arc Raiders launched at the end of October for $40 and has quickly become one of the most successful new online multiplayer games right now. Player retention has been especially strong, which is something we all know is critical for long-term clan growth.
I’ve included SteamDB links below comparing Arc Raiders, Battlefield 6, and Call of Duty daily player trends. What stands out is that Arc Raiders has maintained (and in some weeks increased) its active player base, while BF6 in particular shows steady weekly drop-off.
I personally bought and spent time with Arc Raiders, and the replayability is very high. It is different from what some of us are used to it’s a third-person extraction shooter but that difference is part of why it’s working. The game has also won multiple “Best Online Multiplayer” awards for 2025, which helps explain the strong retention.
This feels like a real recruitment opportunity for BK: supporting a popular, growing multiplayer early instead of trying to catch up later. Even a limited trial period could tell us a lot.
I’m not suggesting we abandon anything just that we add Arc Raiders as a supported title and see what kind of traction it gets.
Curious what everyone thinks. If you’ve tried it already (or have questions), let’s talk about it.

The game is available to purchase on Steam. It has a 87% very positive user reviews.
