Arc Raiders Server Slam Event Announced - Pre-Order for Early Access and Exclusive Rewards

Embark Studios has released a teaser for the Arc Raiders Server Slam event on YouTube (https://youtu.be7aee6kvam5s). This open test invites players to experience the Dam Battlegrounds map and preview the game's progression, creation, and mission systems. The event is crucial for Embark Studios to stress-test its servers in preparation for the game's launch. As a token of appreciation, all participants will receive an exclusive "Server Slammer" backpack cosmetic reward, unlockable upon the full game's release. Progress made during the Server Slam will not carry over to the full game. Players eager to dive in can pre-order Arc Raiders now. The Deluxe Edition offers additional rewards, including the Lucky Duck Bundle, Bruiser Bundle, and Astro Bundle. Arc Raiders is scheduled to launch on October 30, 2025, for PC via the Epic Games Store and Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud streaming service. Interested players can add the game to their wishlists. For further updates, visit arcraiders.com, join their Discord server, or follow them on X (formerly Twitter) @Arcraidersgame and YouTube.
