Arc Raiders immediately hit with long server queues at release

by

I’ve been waiting for Arc Raiders for ages, and it’s finally here! After a bunch of really fun betas and all the buzz around its unique gameplay, I’m so excited to finally jump in and try out all the weapons and skills… though honestly, getting into a match is proving to be a bit of a challenge right now!

Similar issues to those experienced with Battlefield 6 at launch are happening with Arc Raiders. Many players are reporting long wait times to connect to servers and online connection errors immediately after the game’s release.

Arc Raiders players report connection errors and queues

As soon as the game came out, everyone started posting about this Online Connection Error on social media. It seems like the servers were either overloaded or just weren’t working right, which was super frustrating!

Many players are experiencing the same error, and others are finding themselves waiting in long queues to access the game.

If you’re stuck in a long queue, one player found that restarting their game fixed the issue and let them join immediately. It might be worth trying that if you’re having the same problem.

It’s not surprising that players are experiencing queues and server issues, even after the game underwent stress testing. Immediately after its launch, Arc Raiders quickly attracted over 100,000 players within the first thirty minutes, and that number continues to grow as people manage to get past the connection problems.

If you can’t access Arc Raiders right now, you can still familiarize yourself with the enemies and weapons, and then consult our guide for optimal settings and helpful tips when you’re ready to play.
