ARC Raiders Server Outage: How to check status and troubleshoot connection issues as thousands of players face disruption and connection issues

ARC Raiders, the cooperative sci-fi shooter from Embark Studios, has been experiencing server connection problems, with players encountering messages such as “ARC Raiders online services are currently unavailable.”

Reports are pouring into Downdetector, indicating that ARC Raiders servers are currently down. Downdetector allows users to manually report outages, often highlighting issues before the service provider is even aware of them. Ironically, this major outage comes shortly after the company announced that ARC Raiders had been nominated for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards.

Server disruptions are ongoing but there is no estimated time for when services will be restored. According to Technobezz’s ARC Raiders status, the outage is widespread, impacting thousands of players across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

How to check ARC Raiders server status

ARC Raiders does not currently have a dedicated official server status page, but players can monitor outages and updates through several reliable methods:

1. Official Social Channels Follow @ArcRaidersGame and @EmbarkStudios on X, or join the game’s official Discord server to receive real-time updates from the developers.

2. Third-Party Outage Trackers Websites like Technobezz and Downdetector collect live reports from players, helping you determine whether issues are widespread or localized.

3. Check Your Own Network

Restart your router to rule out temporary connection glitches. Reset DNS settings to default or switch to Google’s public DNS (8.8.8.8). Contact your ISP if you notice persistent lag or disconnections beyond the game.
