Thinking of diving into a more serious PvPvE extraction shooter from the creators of The Finals? Then gear up for Arc Raiders Server Slam and full release in October. The game is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. While there are no requirements for console players, one question remains: Can your PC run Arc Raiders? Let’s find out. Check out the minimum and recommended Arc Raiders system requirements in our guide here.
Arc Raiders System Requirements for PC
Arc Raiders used Unreal Engine 5, and despite its reputation, the game does not require a higher-end device. In our Arc Raiders first impressions during the invite-only test, the game felt less resource-heavy. That will remain the same for the Server Slam and full release. In the official Steam and Epic Games Store pages for the game, the developers have revealed the specs you need to run it.
Here are the full Arc Raiders minimum and recommended PC system requirements.
| OS | Windows 10 or later (64-bit, latest update) | Windows 10 or later (64-bit, latest update) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-6600K / AMD Ryzen R5 1600 | Intel Core i5-9600K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| Memory | 12 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 580 / Intel Arc A380 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc B570 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| VRAM | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Network | Broadband Internet connection | Broadband Internet connection |
Arc Raiders System Requirements (Ultra)
Want to push the boundaries and play the game on ultra settings? Embark Studios also shared a list for players who love playing Arc Raiders on the highest settings. As expected, this will demand more specs, compared to the minimum or recommended configuration.
That said, here are the Arc Raiders system requirements for PC to play on ultra settings:
- OS: Windows 10 or later (64-bit, latest update)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-9700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti/ AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
- VRAM: 12 GB or higher
Arc Raiders Download File Size for PC
The Arc Raiders file size on PC is expected to be around 30 GB. During the invite-only playtest, the game’s download size was roughly 23 GB, with Steam reserving an additional 2 GB, bringing the total to about 25 GB.
However, the playtest build didn’t include features like the battle pass or cosmetics, which are expected in the full release. Considering the added content, the Server Slam playtest will likely require close to 30 GB, but it’s best to keep at least 60 GB of free space ready for the full Arc Raiders download size.
For the smoothest experience, we recommend installing the game on an NVMe M.2 SSD, as performance during earlier tests was noticeably better on solid-state drives. If you have yet to pre-order Arc Raiders, we suggest you try the game on your device in the Server Slam before getting it.
