Arc Raiders Sets Oct. 30 Global Launch as Preloads Go Live and Platform Timers Diverge

Embark tells players to trust platform timers over a separate UTC listing.

Overview

  • The premium PvPvE shooter launches globally on October 30 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
  • Preloads are available now, with reported sizes of roughly 16 GB on PS5, about 27 GB on Steam, and around 29 GB on Xbox.
  • Embark reiterates there is no early access, so all players begin at the scheduled launch.
  • A timing discrepancy persists, with Nexon listing 9:30 a.m. UTC while Embark has not announced a single exact time and points players to platform store countdowns such as PSN’s 3 a.m. PT/6 a.m. ET/10 a.m. GMT.
  • The game is a paid release priced at $39.99 for Standard and $59.99 for Deluxe with cosmetic and token bonuses, and Embark signals long-term support informed by Server Slam tuning and ongoing technical fixes.
