ARC Raiders is making waves across PC and consoles since its arrival. Following a successful late 2025 launch, expect Embark Studios to release patches and big content updates regularly. Here we’ll collect every ARC Raiders update, patch notes and dates included.
Complete patch notes and changelogs will be listed on this page with their respective release dates as they arrive, and of course, expect full rundowns of every new piece of content coming to the extraction shooter as Embark Studios shapes its seemingly bright future and makes big plans after the positive critical and player reception.
ARC Raiders Latest Patch Notes - Store Update 1.37.0
The Arc Raiders Store Update 1.37.0 was released on July 14, 2026, to deal with some pressing issues and introduce a new store rotation. Here are the full (but brief) patch notes:
Raiders!
Store Update 1.37.0 is going live right now on all platforms with two new colour variants for the Driftcoat outfit - black/green and red. You will get them automatically if you already own the skin, no restart required.
We have seen your feedback about the Seeker Grenade feeling weaker since last week’s update and we have been investigating the issue. We noticed an unintended effect from a collision change on the projectiles and the team is working on a fix - we will let you know as soon as it’s ready.
We have also been looking into your reports of being automatically signed up for Departure after completing the “Deal Damage” challenge (reaching 100,000 damage dealt). This is unintentional, and we’re working on a fix.
Following last week’s fix for the duplication glitch, we’ve been banning accounts that gained a significant advantage from exploiting it. That effort continues this week, similarly to how we handled it in February:
- Warnings for low-severity cases where abuse was limited.
- Removal of Coins and items tied to exploit activity.
- Suspensions for the severe cases, particularly, where exploit usage had a significant impact on the in-game economy or other players’ experience.
Players who deliberately exploited the glitch but didn’t gain a major advantage will not be suspended. And if you simply received a few items from someone who was duping, without knowingly exploiting the glitch yourself, you may receive a warning.
Our goal is to only take action against those who significantly and deliberately abused the exploit, not to catch players who were incidentally affected.
Thank you to everyone who reported the issue and continued to play according to the rules.
See you Topside,
