"The Server Slam (a term I sincerely hope catches on) is expected to go from October 17-19, which means you can download the game on PS5, Xbox Series consoles, or PC via either Epic or Steam and jump in for some fun. After jumping in for a little bit myself today, I think Arc Raiders might have captured something special."
"Console players and those OK with the Epic Games Store were the first to get the chance to leap into the fray. Those on Steam had to wait a bit, however, as some hotfixes went out to deal with server issues and other bugs ( h/t GamesRadar). In a post on the game's official Discord server, Embark said that it had to issue a "full redownload of the game" to address a variety of issues."
"At the time of this writing, Arc Raiders is enjoying a healthy peak of 182,188 concurrent players via Steam's metrics. If for some reason you can't find the playtest on Steam, Embark advises literally searching for " Arc Raiders - Playtest," though it seems like just hopping onto the game's page on Valve's storefront will reveal a "Play Now" option to get in on the action."
Arc Raiders, Embark's PvPvE extraction shooter, will launch on October 30, 2025. A Server Slam playtest runs October 17-19 and is available on PS5, Xbox Series consoles, Epic Games Store, and Steam. Console and Epic players accessed the playtest first while Steam required hotfixes and a full redownload to resolve server and bug issues. Steam metrics showed a peak of 182,188 concurrent players. Embark recommends searching for "Arc Raiders - Playtest" or using the game's Steam page to access the "Play Now" option. Reddit reports noted some matchmaking issues and crashes alongside reports of smooth performance on certain PCs and a Steam Deck.
