What carries over and what you earn

  • Progress made during the Server Slam does not carry over to the full release.

If you can’t find the listing

  • Search for the exact term “ARC Raiders – Server Slam”. The test is a distinct, free product.

  • Confirm you’re on an Xbox Series X|S; the test isn’t available on Xbox One.

When the test ends

The Server Slam runs through October 19. Once the window closes, matchmaking shuts off, and the test build will no longer be playable.


If you plan to try ARC Raiders later, keep the test uninstalled after the window; the full game will arrive separately with additional maps, quests, and systems beyond this limited build.
