Arc Raiders’ preload isn’t working on the Epic Games store due to ‘an unforeseen issue’

Living in a Wi-Fi bowl leads to slow internet speeds, exemplified by a personal experience of downloading Stalker 2 over three weeks. Preloading has become essential for gamers. The preload for the game Arc Raiders launched recently, but preloading is not available on the Epic Games store due to an issue. Arc Raiders will be available for download on the Epic Games store starting at 10:30 am CET on October 30th.

Epic Games Store hits nearly 300 million PC users in 2024

Epic Games' store has attracted 295 million users on PC and nearly 900 million cross-platform accounts, marking an increase of approximately 100 million users from the previous year, with an average of 67 million monthly active users (MAUs). However, revenue from third-party game sales on PC has declined by 18% year-over-year, dropping from 0 million to 5 million. Overall revenue has increased from 0 million to .09 billion, largely due to Epic's own titles. The top three titles on the platform are Free-to-Play games: Genshin Impact, Rocket League, and Honkai Star Rail, with Grand Theft Auto V being the first paid title on the list. Epic plans to enhance its mobile applications and add features like voice chat and out-of-game invites to the PC client. Concerns remain about the sustainability of third-party game sales as Epic's revenue increasingly relies on its own franchises.
