Tarkov Leads PC Extraction Titles on Steam, Surpassing Marathon and ARC Raiders

Escape from Tarkov is currently pulling more players on Steam than Marathon and ARC Raiders. Marathon launched with a peak of about 88k players but has fallen to 8,948 players (24h peak ~24.6k), a ~72% drop. ARC Raiders peaked around 482k players but is down to ~44k (24h peak ~90k), an ~81% drop. Tarkov’s Steam presence sits around 15k players (launch peak ~47.8k; 24h peak ~16.5k), a ~65% decline from its launch-era peak, but still higher than the other two in current visibility. The piece notes Tarkov’s ongoing content push (Casus Belli event, Icebreaker map, Scav Life DLC) and argues it may have better staying power than the newer titles, while acknowledging that viewership data can diverge.
