Arc Raiders has officially launched its servers, and as expected during major game releases, many players are encountering connection issues. A considerable number of gamers across both PC and console platforms are facing an “Online Connection Error” message indicating that online services are not available. While some users successfully manage to connect, many others are repeatedly hitting the bright yellow retry button in a bid to access the game.

In the lead-up to its launch on Steam, Arc Raiders soared to the top of the global sales charts. Within just five minutes of going live, the game saw over 100,000 players online at the same time, an impressive feat considering many are still on their workdays.

As of now, there hasn’t been any official communication from Arc Raiders regarding these connectivity issues. For those who may have taken the day off or are working remotely, the gameplay experience might not be as seamless as expected. Nevertheless, such server hiccups are a common occurrence in online gaming and can even add to the excitement—much like the launch of classic titles in the industry.
