Arc Raiders population stats micropost

37% Friendly co-op players (this player group has grown consistently since launch).
27% Mixed players.
34% Pure PvP players (this player group has remained stable since launch).

A breakdown of Arc Raiders' player population straight from Embark itself. The studio shared the figures as part of its announcement of a PvE toggle test coming to the extraction shooter next month. Interestingly, the desire for PvE options is strong even among its bloodthirsty audience.

"Over 70% of Friendly players and even 40% of PvP players express a desire for fewer hostile encounters and 51% of the surveyed playerbase has expressed an interest in a dedicated PvE option," Embark said.
