Embark Studios will launch an ARC Raiders Server Slam ahead of the online shooter's release, so players can get a taste of what to expect. No codes or pre-registration will be required for entry, plus participants will receive an exclusive backpack cosmetic as thanks to unlock with a full game purchase, although progress won't carry over. ARC Raiders is a PvPvE sandbox shooter from the studio behind The Finals, which merges extraction and survival gameplay. "We're excited to welcome Raiders to the Server Slam - this is where we'll really put ARC Raiders through its paces ahead of full launch," said executive producer Aleksander Grøndal. The game's most recent test was at the end of April this year, but it's been a long time coming - ARC Raiders was first revealed at The Game Awards in 2021 and has since received a genre change.
