ARC Raiders has launched its Server Slam open beta, seeing a massive influx of players on Steam. The future success of the game hinges on sustaining this enthusiasm as it approaches its full release.

ARC Raiders Server Slam Open Beta is designed to evaluate the server limits, and the response has been exceptional, with player peaks over 189,000 shortly after launch. Although the count has since dropped to 169,000, significant player engagement is anticipated during the weekend.

For anyone joining the beta, remember that progress will not carry over to the full game set to launch on October 30. However, players can earn an exclusive Server Slammer Backpack for use when the complete game launches.

While the game has generated interest similar to Embark Studios’ previous title, it is leaping ahead of other popular releases. Comparatively, other games like Megabonk and Battlefield 6 have reported significant concurrent player numbers, but ARC Raiders is making its mark as the open beta continues.
