ARC Raiders can't connect on PS5 or Xbox

Network or NAT trouble on console

The console version can't get online or loses the connection. Embark links this to Wi-Fi trouble, old system software, a strict NAT type and an out-of-sync clock.

Is ARC Raiders down right now? Operational: 19 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Run the network test in your console settings and note which step fails.

  2. Turn off the console, unplug the modem and router for at least 60 seconds, then start everything again.

  3. Connect the console to the router with an Ethernet cable.

  4. Install any pending system software update and restart the console.

  5. If your NAT type is Moderate or Strict, turn on UPnP on your router.
