The servers for Arc Raiders are currently offline, prompting a swift response from the development team as players report widespread connectivity issues. The outage was acknowledged late in the evening when a member of the Embark Studios team addressed the situation directly on the official Discord channel. The message posted by community representative Ossen, stated: “Hey Raiders! We’re aware of the issues affecting our servers. The team is investigating and we’ll keep you posted! //Ossen.” While brief, the post ensured players that the matter has the studio’s full attention and that further updates will be shared as soon as possible.
The disruption arrives at a time when Arc Raiders continues to maintain strong engagement following its recent launch. The game is a fast-paced, third-person cooperative extraction shooter created by Embark Studios, where players explore dangerous PvPvE arenas as they scavenge, craft, and confront a constant mechanical threat known as ARC. Its structure revolves around venturing out from an underground base to retrieve valuable materials necessary for crafting and upgrading equipment. This loop emphasizes teamwork and survival, with players able to enter missions alone or in squads of up to three.
Since its release on October 30, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Arc Raiders has experienced remarkable commercial success. According to the publisher, Nexon, the game has sold over four million copies worldwide. Moreover, it reached a peak of more than 700K concurrent users less than two weeks after launch, a milestone that Nexon described as the most successful global debut in the company’s history.
While Embark Studios has not yet provided a timeline for full restoration, the prompt acknowledgment on Discord signals that the development team is working toward a resolution. For now, players will need to wait for the next official update as the investigation continues.
