Following the recent update to Arc Raiders that introduced the Stella Montis map on the North Line, the developers are now adding a highly requested feature: snow. This won’t be a permanent change to the maps, but a limited-time event lasting about an hour. During the event, snowfall will reduce visibility across all maps, making ambushes more likely and adding a new challenge for players.
I’m so excited! The new Arc Raiders update is coming out on December 16th! It’s adding a bunch of cool stuff like new quests, a new Deck that lets you unlock outfits, and a special event. I’ve been checking to see exactly when it’ll be available in my region, and here’s what I’ve found for everyone else who’s eager to play!
What Time Does Arc Raiders‘ Cold Snap Update Come Out?
Global Release Times
The Cold Snap update arrives on December 16th, and players will be able to jump in right away. However, the exact time the update will be released hasn’t been announced yet. We can likely expect it to be around the same time as the North Line update, which included the Stella Montis map.
If everything proceeds as planned, the update will be released at 1:30 a.m. Pacific Time / 4:30 a.m. Eastern Time on December 16, 2025. Here’s a schedule of release times for other regions around the world:
