ARC Raiders is holding a Server Slam before its October 30th, 2025 launch.
Embark Studios’ hit extraction shooter ARC Raiders went big earlier this year during its open beta. The fun PvPvE gameplay mixed with a retro-futuristic setting made for quite the ride for many. Popularity grew over time and, during Summer Games Fest, it got an October 30th release date. Now, with pre-orders available, the team has announced that fans can get in on the action earlier than expected.
ARC Raiders Server Slam Open to Public in Mid-October
In the pre-order trailer for ARC Raiders, seen above, it was shown that it will hold a Server Slam from October 17th to October 19th. Similar to a beta, a Server Slam is when a game tests out the server limits by letting everyone on to play. The test will be open to everyone, even those who haven’t pre-ordered the game, no signup required. If you didn’t play during the open beta, it might be your best bet to hop on and try it out yourself before release.
The massive popularity of ARC Raiders came seemingly out of nowhere. Despite changing from free-to-play to costing $40, it didn’t stop players from enjoying the massive world with friends (and enemies). The addictive gameplay was more than enough to hook people on, making the title one to watch come the October 30th release.
