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. The author invites discussion on Insider Gaming’s Discord server.

Marathon's $200M+ budget, player drop, but Bungie stays optimistic

Forbes reports Marathon’s development budget exceeded $200 million (likely over $250 million with ongoing post-launch costs); Steam’s 24-hour peak has fallen about 68% since launch to roughly 26,900 players. The Cryo Archive endgame remains highly challenging, but Bungie morale is reportedly high and there’s no plan to shut the game down, addressing fears of a live-service collapse.

"Fallout Franchise Surges in Player Counts on Steam and Beyond"

Fallout games, including Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Fallout New Vegas, have experienced a significant increase in concurrent players on Steam following the release of Amazon Prime's Fallout TV series. The show's popularity has led to a resurgence in player numbers, with some games seeing their concurrent peaks double, triple, or even quadruple. However, fans have raised concerns about potential contradictions between the TV show's plot and the established lore of the game series.

Lego Fortnite is currently attracting more players than Fortnite Battle Royale, with over 2.1 million players at peak times. The Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival modes have around 800,000 and 600,000 players respectively. In the Lego mode, players collect Lego items to build houses and objects, and over 1200 in-game costumes have received free Lego variations. While not all skins will receive this treatment, licensed properties like Star Wars and Marvel have Lego versions of their in-game skins due to existing licensing agreements.

Fortnite's Player Count Feature Proves It's Still Thriving.

Fortnite's Discover tab now shows player counts for all experiences, including those made by non-Epic creators. The Battle Royale and Zero Build modes are overwhelmingly more popular than any other experiences, with just under 600,000 players combined. The new metrics will be important for creators trying to measure up in Epic's "Creator Economy 2.0" and could make the platform feel more competitive. The move also puts Epic on more even footing with Roblox, which also shows player counts while browsing experiences.
