"April feels like a lifetime ago, but that's when Arc Raiders, the extraction shooter from ex-DICE developers at Embark, was last available to play. The game's second tech test began and ended in April, and remained invite-only throughout its runtime. The test was immensely successful, and almost everyone who played it came away wanting more. Most assumed the developer would open the test up for one final weekend, or host some sort of open beta in the weeks to follow. None of that happened."
"Arc Raiders is hosting a server slam, a limited-time event that runs October 17-19. It's free for anyone to try across all platforms, and it falls on a weekend to maximise visibility. The game has also gone up for pre-orders on PC, PS5, and Xbox. The focus of the server slam is to stress-test the game's server capacity and netcode ahead of launch. In gameplay terms, we'll be going to the Dam Battlegrounds, which is a map that was also part of the tech test."
Arc Raiders will hold a free, limited-time server slam event from October 17 to 19 to stress-test servers and netcode before the October 30 launch. The event is open across PC, PS5, and Xbox and will feature the Dam Battlegrounds map from the earlier tech test. Players can access limited progression, early crafting, and small quests, but none of the event progress will carry over to the full release. Participants who play the event and later purchase the game will receive an exclusive backpack. The game is a PvPvE extraction shooter from ex-DICE developers at Embark, priced $40 ($60 Deluxe) and supporting cross-play.
