Arc Raiders Players Receiving In-Game Compensation For Server Struggles

Developer Embark Studios wants to make it right for Arc Raiders players who dealt with server problems over the weekend. As such, anyone who logged in to the extraction shooter on November 2 will receive 500 Raider Tokens.

The official Arc Raiders account on X announced the in-game compensation for players. The post acknowledges "that our servers had a wobble on Sunday," with SteamDB noting the game hit a new peak concurrent-players count of 354,836 people on Steam that day. This comes after Arc Raiders already broke a Steam record for extraction shooters with PvP. Keep in mind that the game is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (as well as Epic Games Store), so these numbers are obviously higher than just what's on Valve's platform.

Arc Raiders also experienced server issues on launch day, October 30. That isn't necessarily rare for multiplayer games at the start and showcases the player demand for the game. It also gives credence to Embark making the call to release Arc Raiders between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
