After the conclusion of the Server Slam for ARC Raiders, the developers at Embark Studios shared the test results and plans for the release on October 30, 2025, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The studio highlighted four key areas for improvement: stability, flying ARCs, the dam tower, and visual settings.
Players helped identify stability issues, which are being addressed. Flying ARCs proved too strong—their balance has been adjusted for a "fairer game." The dam tower will become less accessible, as it will contain valuable resources. Visual settings will optimize performance without critically sacrificing quality.
The studio also revealed statistics: 30 million rounds were played over the weekend, and 58 million ARCs were destroyed. The deadliest was the Rocketeer, with over 2.3 million kills. Players destroyed 77 of the strongest ARCs – the Queen. The favorite weapon of the test was Ferro. Among the fun facts: 816,162 rubber duckies and 96,000 recorders were collected, 2,669 players were knocked down while playing on a recorder, and 26,676 were struck by lightning.
The peak number of players on PC reached 189,668. The Server Slam took place in Dam Battlegrounds, where players needed to gather resources, fight ARCs, other players, and unite against the Queen.
