Arc Raiders Gets First New Update for May 2026, Here Are the Changes

A new update for Arc Raiders is available now, starting off May 2026 with some improvements. Last week, Embark Studios launched the large Riven Tides update, which included a new map for the game. While today’s update is smaller, it still offers helpful changes players will enjoy.

Update 1.27.0 for Arc Raiders is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC. This update primarily addresses bugs that players have found since the release of the Riven Tides patch, including issues with certain maps, audio, and character customization options.

Embark Studios is planning a significant update to improve the balance of Arc Raiders. They’re making these changes based on player feedback received since the release of Riven Tides. Currently, they’re taking their time to ensure the adjustments are effective before releasing them. Expect more details about this update in the coming days or weeks.
