Update 1.4.0 for ARC Raiders added exploit mitigation mechanisms for all locked rooms across all maps on Nov. 27, 2025.
The update landed on all platforms where the title is available, including Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The update also fixed the gun exploit that allowed players to shoot quicker than intended by swapping to a quick-use item and back.
Besides that, the exterior access to Spaceport’s Control Tower locked room has been blocked off, and Raider Voice now correctly respects the selected voice option after restarting the game.
Among other changes, Update 1.4.0 fixed the issue that sometimes caused low-resolution textures in the Main Menu, fixed players being able to push each other by jumping on each other’s backs, and also fixed lighting artifacts that would sometimes occur upon entering maps.
Developed and published by Embark Studios, the third-person PvPvE extraction shooter ARC Raiders was launched on Oct. 30, 2025.
Set in the distant future on Earth, mysterious and deadly “ARC” robots have taken over the surface, forcing humanity to live underground. The game allows players to assume the role of one of the Raiders, those who choose to go above ground, also known as “the topside,” to collect resources during short runs on the topside, which then will be sorted with the assistance of their roosters for the welfare of the underground city Speranza.
The title hit the mark of 700,000 concurrent players across all platforms and sold more than 4 million copies worldwide in less than a month since launch.
