Arc Raiders launches on October 30, 2025. You’ll be able to start playing at the official release times for your platform and region, with pre-load available if you’ve pre-ordered. Key details by region (typical launch window):

  • North America (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC): around 3:00 AM PDT / 6:00 AM EDT on October 30, 2025 (times may vary slightly by platform)
  • UK/Ireland: around 10:00 AM GMT on October 30, 2025
  • Europe: around 11:00 AM CET / 12:00 PM EET on October 30, 2025
  • Asia/Oceania: typically evenings in local time zones on October 30, 2025 (varies by region)

Pre-load tip:

  • If you’ve pre-ordered, you can usually pre-load the game ahead of launch so you can jump in as soon as the servers go live on October 30, 2025. The game size is roughly 30 GB on consoles as a reference point, though actual download size may vary by platform and updates.

Notes and tips:

  • There is no official early access for Arc Raiders beyond the standard release window, so you won’t be able to start playing before the stated launch times unless you’re on a platform that already released a pre-load or a server test window completed earlier (server slam variants).
  • Always double-check the in-game store or your platform’s storefront (PS Store, Microsoft Store, Steam) on launch day for any platform-specific notes, day-one patches, or regional time changes.

If you’d like, specify your platform (PC, PS5, Xbox) and your time zone, and I can give you the exact local release time and the pre-load status for that setup.
