„Some of the most impressive graphics options I’ve ever seen.” New shooter on Unreal Engine 5 gets positive reviews just before release

by

Unreal Engine 5 games haven’t always run smoothly, and many players have noticed performance problems. However, the upcoming game ARC Raiders appears to be an exception, with early reports highlighting its strong performance.

Impressive graphics options

ARC Raiders recently ran tests that saw a peak of nearly 200,000 concurrent players on Steam alone. The game received positive feedback, suggesting it could attract a dedicated player base even with competition from games like Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

I’m seeing a ton of players really impressed with how polished this game feels. I was a little worried about it running on Unreal Engine 5, but those concerns seem to be gone. Someone even pointed out how awesome the graphics options menu is! It’s super easy to tweak everything – the settings are clearly explained, and you can see the changes happen right away because of the transparent background. It makes dialing in the perfect look a breeze.

I recently got access to the ARC Raiders playtest, and I was really blown away by how extensive and detailed the graphics settings are – it’s one of the best I’ve seen in any PC game.

Many users expressed agreement, though some pointed out issues with the game’s graphics. Reddit users observed that the visual quality had been lowered since the April tech test.

Could you please address the noticeable decrease in visual quality? The game looked much better before – what happened to the detailed effects like lighting, fog, and plants?

Lots of commenters agree with the original poster and are confused by the developers’ choice. Plus, several users say the game still doesn’t run any faster, even with reduced graphics settings.

ARC Raiders will be released on October 30 on PC, PS5, and XSX/S.
