ARC Raiders System Requirements for Minimum, Recommended and Epic Detailed
ARC Raiders is launching later this month, and ahead of that, and the upcoming server slam playtest, Embark Studios has released updated system requirements to play ARC Raiders on PC. If you previously played the playtest, not much has changed beyond the requirements needed for epic settings.
In which case, you’re going to need at least an NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti or an AMD RX 7900 XTX.

As revealed in some freshly updated FAQ on the ARC Raiders Discord channel, here are the PC system requirements that you’ll need to run in the game on various settings.
ARC Raiders System Requirements – Minimum

ARC Raiders System Requirements – Recommended

Based on these specs, the game isn’t too demanding. Epic only requires a CPU that is 6-7 years old now. The GPUs are the most demanding aspect of it, as they’re still relatively new and expensive to own. However, all things considered, it doesn’t require a top-of-the-line card, such as an RTX 4090 or 5000 series card, or an RX 9700 card.
Overall, these requirements should meet the needs of most players. We’re glad to see that Embark Studios is focusing on optimization, rather than trying to brute force things with higher premium cards that only a tiny fraction of the PC community has.
ARC Raiders officially launches on October 30, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Pre-orders are now available.
