The developers of shooter THE FINALS at Embark Studios are preparing to launch the PvPvE extraction shooter ARC Raiders. Before the late October release, the team has decided to conduct final testing — open to all players. Additionally, preorders are now live on digital platforms.
The so-called Server Slam will run from October 17-19. This stress test will be available on all platforms where ARC Raiders launches. No advance registration or codes are required to participate. All participants will receive a cosmetic backpack reward as a thank-you gift, claimable at launch when purchasing the shooter. Progress from the test won't carry over to the full version.
"Whether you played before or missed the second technical test — this is another chance for everyone to invite friends, team up, and earn a unique in-game keepsake. Our goal for Server Slam is simple: ensure that on October 30, when servers go live, every gamer experiences the game exactly as we envisioned it — polished, balanced, and battle-ready." — Embark Studios
Preorders for ARC Raiders are now available in Standard and Deluxe editions across all platforms.
Early purchasers of the Standard edition receive the Lucky Duck Bundle, featuring a special backpack and duck charm accessory. The Deluxe version includes even more cosmetics. The expanded edition contains a skin, emote, "lip scar" customization option, outfit, backpack with decoration, and 2,400 in-game currency tokens.
As a reminder, in ARC Raiders players take on the role of raiders — brave shooters surviving in a devastated world filled with deadly ARC machines and hostile humans. Expect intense combat and a vast world full of mysteries and opportunities. While exploring the dangerous surface, players gather resources to build their home in an underground settlement called Speranza.
ARC Raiders launches October 30 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
