Arc Raiders has had an incredible 2 months since launch and become one of the biggest multiplayer hits of the year. But, what does 2026 hold for the game? Here is what we know.
We will keep this page updated throughout the year as Embark reveal more about the game.
Arc Raiders will dramatically shift its update schedule to one major content update every six months. This is a change from the monthly updates since the game launched.
In a blog post, Embark details why they are making this change:
“Going forward, we’ve made the decision to release major updates twice a year – larger in scale, more impactful, with the goal to genuinely change how you play the game. Don’t worry, a dedicated live service team will continue running ARC Raiders day-to-day: regular live updates, plus balance fixes, bug fixes, store updates, and player events aren’t going anywhere.
This additional development space also allows us to invest more deeply in the health of ARC Raiders, from progression and economy balancing to fair play and anti-cheat efforts. We know these are foundational to the experience, especially in a game where every encounter and extraction matters.”
