Arc Raiders is finally here, following plenty of successful betas and tons of hype for the unique extraction shooter. Now, players can officially dive into the game to try out all the weapons, skills, and so much more… well, if you can get in.

We saw it with Battlefield 6 when it initially released (and it’s beta), so it’s no surprise that the same errors are occurring with the highly anticipated Arc Raiders, as tons of players are reporting massive server queues and Online Connection errors straight after it officially released.

Arc Raiders players report connection errors and queues

Shortly after the game dropped, players took to various social media pages to share the game’s Online Connection Error, showcasing how it “looks like either the servers are full or they’re having server issues.”

The error is widespread, with plenty of eager fans reporting the same error appearing on their games, while others have reported being stuck in a queue to get in.

One player reported sitting in the queue for a while until they restarted their game and got in straight away, so if you’re also experiencing the same problem, it’s worth restarting your game to try and bypass the queue.

The queues and server issues come as no surprise, despite the server stress test performed before release. As soon as Arc Raiders dropped, the player count skyrocketed to over 100,000 players in just half an hour, and is only increasing as more get through the queues and server problems.
