How long do ARC Raiders streams take to peak?
Median concurrent viewers by hour into the stream across tracked ARC Raiders channels — viewership typically peaks in hour 6. Streams shorter than that often end before their audience arrives.
How to use these ARC Raiders numbers
Viewers per channel is a ratio, not a promise. An hour with a small audience and even fewer live channels can score well, so switch the heatmap to Viewers before you plan around a quiet hour: a high ratio built on a small audience still means a small audience. Competition shows the other side, the hours when the most ARC Raiders channels are live at once.
Treat the top windows as a starting point for a test rather than a rule. Stream your usual ARC Raiders content in one of them for two or three weeks and compare your average viewers with your current slot. The numbers are rebuilt every night from the last 28 days, so the windows follow the audience as it shifts.
How this is measured
Based on hourly concurrent-viewer samples of 7 tracked ARC Raiders channels on Twitch over the last 28 days (115 samples). Cells observed on fewer than 2 distinct days show as “no data” — a sampling gap is not the same as an empty timeslot. Numbers describe the channels we track, not all of Twitch, and skew toward established streamers.
