To that end, the Arc Raiders slam is wide open, available on all platforms\u2014<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1808500\/ARC_Raiders\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a> and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.epicgames.com\/en-US\/p\/arc-raiders\" target=\"_blank\">Epic<\/a> for PC, plus PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S\u2014and with no pre-registration required: Just show and go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is where we\u2019ll really put Arc Raiders through its paces ahead of full launch,&#8221; executive producer Aleksander Gr\u00f8ndal said. &#8220;Our goal is simple: Make sure that on October 30, when the servers go live, every player experiences the game exactly as we&#8217;ve intended\u2014polished, balanced, and ready for action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, anyway, although these things have a habit of going sideways when the big day comes. As PC Gamer&#8217;s Fraser Brown pointed out when he declared 2024 &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/its-barely-even-started-and-2024-is-already-the-year-of-server-issues\/\">the year of server issues<\/a>&#8221; (in February, no less), popular hits like <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/helldivers-2-drops-to-mixed-reviews-on-steam-but-more-people-than-ever-are-playing\/\">Helldivers 2<\/a> and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/last-epoch-director-admits-his-optimistic-launch-expectations-aged-like-milk-as-its-servers-struggle-under-the-weight-of-160k-players\/\">Last Epoch<\/a> struggled badly at launch under the weight of unexpected interest. More recently, Funcom expressed confidence that Dune: Awakening servers <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/this-is-not-our-first-rodeo-dune-awakening-team-confident-servers-wont-implode-at-launch\/\">wouldn&#8217;t implode at launch<\/a>, and while it wasn&#8217;t a complete catastrophe, yeah, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/mmo\/dune-awakening-lives-up-to-mmo-tradition-with-server-woes-at-launch-but-with-these-simple-fixes-the-spice-shall-flow\/\">there were problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Arc Raiders may well face similar challenges, because it&#8217;s just that good: Jake Tucker, who knows a thing or two about shooters himself, said last year that it &#8220;could be the extraction shooter that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/arc-raiders-could-be-the-extraction-shooter-that-finally-brings-the-genre-to-the-masses\/\">finally brings the genre to the masses<\/a>.&#8221; And if those masses all show up at once on launch day, it might get a little crowded. A server stress test won&#8217;t eliminate that possibility completely, but it should at least highlight any obvious issues that may have gone overlooked amidst all the pre-release excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Developer Embark Studios said access to the server slam &#8220;will roll out slowly on day one&#8221;\u2014how exactly that will work isn&#8217;t clear at this point, but the studio said more information will be provided closer to kickoff. Progress will <em>not <\/em>carry over into the full release of Arc Raiders, but everyone who takes part in the test will get an exclusive Server Slam backpack for use in the full game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"7c7NjwQMhCv8vFGoT9uczn\" name=\"back\" alt=\"Arc Raiders server slam exclusive backpack\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/arc-raiders-is-opening-its-doors-to-everyone-in-a-final-server-slam-playtest-coming-in-october.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Embark Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Preorders for Arc Raiders are available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store, at $40\/\u00a331\/\u20ac40 for the base game, or $60\/\u00a350\/\u20ac60 for the deluxe edition, the differences between which are listed below.
