Arc Raiders Players Compensated for Server Issues
By Evan Campbell on November 4, 2025
Developer Embark Studios announced compensation for Arc Raiders players affected by server problems over the weekend. Anyone who logged into the game on November 2 will receive 500 Raider Tokens as a goodwill gesture.
Server Struggles Amid Record Player Counts
The official Arc Raiders account on X acknowledged the server instability, stating that "our servers had a wobble on Sunday." That same day, SteamDB reported a new peak concurrent player count of 354,836 on Steam, highlighting the game's growing popularity.
We appreciate your patience as our servers had a wobble on Sunday, Scrappy must've pecked a few wires loose, he's been put on the naughty step 🐓 As a token of our thanks, we're sending 500 Raider Tokens to all Raiders who logged in on Sunday.
These numbers reflect only Steam players, while the game is also available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games Store, indicating a much larger player base overall.
Context of Server Issues and Launch Timing
The game also faced server problems on its launch day, October 30—a common challenge for multiplayer releases, underscoring the high demand for Arc Raiders.
Embark Studios’ decision to release the game between major franchises Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 further emphasizes the strong market interest.
Future Updates Focus on Aesthetic Quality
Looking forward, Embark stated that Arc Raiders will not introduce “novelty” skins but will concentrate on enhancing the game's core aesthetics.
Summary: Embark Studios is addressing significant player demand and initial server issues by compensating Arc Raiders players with Raider Tokens and focusing future updates on game quality rather than cosmetic additions.
