Arc Raiders is set to return for a final test ahead of its launch on October 30, 2025, inviting players to join a limited-time server slam event from October 17-19. This free test is open across all platforms and aims to stress-test the game’s server capacity while providing a sneak peek into gameplay. Players will revisit the Dam Battlegrounds map, which was featured in previous tests. Although any progress will not carry over to the full game, participants will receive an exclusive in-game backpack if they decide to purchase the game. Pre-orders are now available, with the game priced at $40 for the standard version and $60 for the Deluxe edition.
