Embark Studios has announced a special in-game reward to thank players for their patience as the team works to resolve early server access issues in Arc Raiders. In a message posted on the game’s official Discord channel, the developers expressed gratitude toward the community for standing by them as they stabilize matchmaking and improve access to in-game shuttles.
According to the announcement, players will receive 500 Raider Tokens as a gesture of appreciation. Additionally, those who participated in the server test will be granted the Server Slammer variant of the Hiker Backpack, a cosmetic reward commemorating their early support. The rollout for these items began earlier today, though Embark noted that some users might need to wait a few hours before the rewards appear in their accounts.
The message, shared by Embark’s representative Ossen on behalf of the ARC Raiders Team, emphasized ongoing work to enhance stability, stating that they are continuing to fine-tune systems to ensure smoother access for all players. “We are working to get players into the shuttles in a timely manner,” the post explained, reinforcing the studio’s commitment to addressing post-launch concerns.
Arc Raiders officially launched on October 30, 2025, and is available across PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Embark Studios, the title offers a high-stakes multiplayer extraction experience set in a post-apocalyptic world where players must scavenge valuable resources while facing off against both hostile machines known as the ARC and rival human factions. The game’s PvPvE structure raises the intensity, as any unsecured loot is lost upon death, amplifying the tension and reward of each mission.
The team’s prompt communication and compensatory gesture appear aimed at reassuring the growing player base following reports of connection difficulties during the first days after release. As the servers stabilize, Embark Studios continues to encourage players to stay tuned for further updates via the official Discord and other community channels.
