A new one ARC Raiders update, version 1.000.006, is now available for download. The first patch since the game's debut, this version introduces fixes for over a dozen critical issues identified in the first version of ARC Raidersexcept for some other changes.
An extraction shooter from Nexon's Swedish subsidiary Embark Studios, ARC Raiders had a hugely successful launch on October 30th, peaking at over 264,000 concurrent players on Steam alone. If the number of user reviews is any indication, at least a third of the game's early adopters are currently playing on consoles.
First ARC Raiders update includes gameplay, graphics, UI fixes
All versions of ARC Raiders received its very first post-launch update on Friday, October 31. The patch notes attached the latest version of the extraction shooter (1,000,006) number 19 items, mainly bug fixes. Key issues fixed include incorrect boost effects, incorrect object dropouts, minor geometry errors, and UI bugs. The ARC Raiders Proximity chat also received several fixes and should no longer give bot voice distortions.
The updated version of the extraction shooter should be a little more stable than the first day, with the new changelog mentioning a fix for a crash trigger, albeit without developing. The stability improvements may be more noticeable on PC, as the developer has identified and resolved a memory leak related to Steam avatar images. Similarly, the October 31st patch fixes a bug that prevents players' Steam avatars from appearing in the Social tab. Another PC-specific fix fixes visual errors that occurred when using Epic graphics settings in ARC Raiders.
Virtual tracking for ARC Raiders Codex has been temporarily disabled due to previously identified issues with certain lens types not unlocking correctly. A more extensive patch that will allow developers to re-enable the feature is currently being worked on. The presentation of the in-game store has also been tweaked, with images now promised to scale uniformly regardless of the screen's aspect ratio. Visual improvements include corrected interior floor materials, refined lighting in some areas, and geometry fixes on the Blue Gate map. Meanwhile, the Burried City map's subway extractions have been adjusted to prevent players from getting stuck on train tracks.
Many more fixes are planned to hit the popular extraction shooter in the coming days. Looking at the bigger picture, Embark has already teased ambitious post-launch content plans ARC Raiderswhich includes new missions, maps and events. Several “major updates” are currently scheduled to debut in the last two months of 2025. Unlike most modern live service games, ARC Raiders won't be adopting a seasonal content model, at least not initially, with Embark instead aiming to deliver updates and meaningful changes whenever it's ready to do so.
