Arc Raiders Players Receive Compensation for Server Issues
By Evan Campbell on November 4, 2025, at 6:33 AM PST
Developer Embark Studios is addressing server challenges faced by Arc Raiders players over the weekend. Anyone who logged into the extraction shooter on November 2 will be granted 500 Raider Tokens as compensation.
Official Announcement and Player Surge
The official Arc Raiders account on X acknowledged the server difficulties, stating,
“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.”
SteamDB reported that on that day, the game reached a new peak of 354,836 concurrent players on Steam. This milestone followed Arc Raiders breaking a Steam record for extraction shooters with PvP. Considering the game is also available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Epic Games Store, the total player count is even higher than Steam’s numbers alone.
Server Issues on Launch and Player Demand
Arc Raiders experienced server problems not only on November 2 but also during its launch on October 30. While server hiccups are common for multiplayer games at launch, this reflects strong player interest. The release timing between Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 also highlights Embark’s strategic decision.
Future Development Focus
Embark has announced that Arc Raiders will not include "novelty" skins, choosing instead to focus on the core aesthetic experience of the game.
Author's summary: Embark Studios compensates Arc Raiders players with in-game tokens following widespread server issues, emphasizing genuine gameplay over cosmetic extras.
