ARC Raiders has already received a lot of positive feedback from players who participated in the game’s beta tests. The most recent event, the Server Slam weekend, challenged players to push the backend systems to their limits prior to launch. The data gathered from this stress test should help Embark Studios—the developers behind the 2024 FPS Game of the Year, *The Finals*—to prepare the servers for a smooth and successful launch.
