Arc Raiders

Happy release day everyone, know this has been a long time coming for a lot of folk, I was a bit late to the party / hype but I'm looking forward to getting into it.

Unfortunate. Does it play like the division games? I've been waiting for a new division game to jump back in

Not really. I did see some people making comparisons but its not really alike. Division is essentially a PvE game , with a side game of PvPvE extraction, whereas Arc Raiders is primarily a PvPvE extraction game. Aside from them both involving "modern" weapons and being 3rd person, I wouldnt equate the two games
 
I'm expecting servers to be quite flooded for the first 20/30 minutes or so until the logins settle down. Worth jumping in around 10am!
 
One quick game solo bumped into another solo and joined up. A brief bit of combat with another raider before heading back down. Will be playing later when the house is quieter.

Will definitely be lower, even GOTYs have big drop offs after the initial buzz. Even the supremely highly rated Baldurs Gate 3 lost 75% of its userbase in the first 8 weeks

Can't really compare to a SP game you can complete, like I played it once and never played it again.

Fair enough, BF6 (which seems to be the most recent MP beau game and is rated well with a much larger studio and budger than Arc Raiders), has lost 33% of its userbase in less than the first month. So my point still stands that its very common for a title to lose numbers after the initial buzz. VERY few games dont, hence the term honeymoon period. I would 100% expect the numbers to drop, as I would for most titles, but then I have a more positive outlook on gaming than most gamers who seem to tend toward being miserable about their chosen hobby :D
