Embark Studios has confirmed a gradual Arc Raiders server rollout, likely intended to prevent overloads, which means players may not be able to jump into the event the moment it goes live. Since there’s no preload option available, expect a bit of extra downtime during the initial launch period.
The Arc Raiders Server Slam will run for three days, kicking off on 17 October and wrapping up on 19 October. Unlike many similar events, no sign-up is required—everyone on all supported platforms can join in freely. However, it’s worth noting that any progress made during the event won’t transfer to the full release of the game.
The ARC Raiders Server Slam is scheduled to begin on October 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM EDT across all platforms.
