The ARC Raiders Headwinds season launches on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. The expansion brings several updates to the game, including new cosmetics, new quests, a new map condition, and a new matchmaking level option for those who have reached level 40 or higher. This is in addition to other items and general quality-of-life updates.
The ARC Raiders team announced the arrival on social media. This is only the first step in the roadmap, which outlines plans for the game through April 2026 and promises even more content for the popular extraction shooter.
Long Road of Updates Ahead for ARC Raiders
Players will still have to wait until April for a new map, expected to be a waterborne map, to arrive in the game, something that not all players are happy about. However, the game has been an overall success, netting over 10 million sales since its release in the latter half of 2025.
