The much-anticipated Arc Raiders launched last week, but some players hoping to drop in on the extraction shooter have been left hanging. Suffering from success, the multiplayer game rocketed up the Steam charts, only for the servers to implode over the weekend, with Embark Studios now working to remedy the situation. After launching to over 260,000 concurrent players on Steam, Arc Raiders only grew bigger in the days after, pushing out to a peak of 337,834. Impressive numbers for only the second game from the devs, but the infrastructure strained and the servers buckled. Throughout Sunday, November 2, players posted about being unable to get in due to a game-wide crash. Embark has been working diligently to solve the problems, instituting some quick fixes in lieu of wider solutions. Arc Raiders devs already patch Server Slam disconnect errors as Steam players queue to get in: "This time around, it's a full redownload of the game" After 30 million rounds and 816,162 rubber ducks, Arc Raiders celebrates successful Server Slam open beta with some prompt bug squashing: "We took immediate action" Arc Raiders players are split over nerfing drone enemies after the server slam for the new multiplayer shooter from ex-Battlefield devs: "That's a you issue not a game issue" While unfortunate, this is often par for the course for online-only releases. A first-weekend surge is expected and hoped for, but although server slams and beta access gave some sense of buzz, data can only predict so much. Throw in a $40 price tag, a large contrast to Embark's last game The Finals being free-to-play, and there was uncertainty. Considering Embark was founded by ex-Battlefield and Star Wars: Battlefront devs, the studio knows what it's about in handling all this. What's important now is the recovery, which is underway. If you're hoping to join the fray, exercise a little patience, and you'll get your chance. Arc Raiders roadmap confirms new map Stella Montis, expanded quests, 2 new Arcs to fight in November, and a new Raider Deck battle pass for December.
