ARC Raiders Server Outage Hits Millions of Players

Millions of players of the popular extraction shooter ARC Raiders encountered widespread login issues late Monday, as servers went offline around 6 p.m. Pacific Time, preventing access to the game across platforms. Developed by Embark Studios, the title has surged in popularity since its October 30, 2025 release, but the outage left fans unable to connect, with many reporting persistent queues and error messages.

Player complaints flooded social media platforms starting at approximately 6 p.m. PT, or 9 p.m. Eastern Time, describing an inability to log in despite stable internet connections. According to data from DownDetector, a service that aggregates user reports of service disruptions, incidents spiked dramatically to over 29,000 by early Tuesday, far exceeding the game's typical baseline of 20 to 30 reports. Users frequently cited the ARSB0003 error code, which indicates unavailable online services, as a common barrier. Attempts to join matches on the newly unlocked Stella Montis map, a highlight of the recent North Line Update, were particularly affected, turning what was expected to be a routine evening session into hours of frustration for the community.
