ARC Raiders Unlocks Hidden Cinematic Settings

Patch 1.7.0 for ARC Raiders unlocks previously hidden Cinematic/Max graphics settings on PC, enabling full UE5 visuals such as DLAA and ray tracing. Tests indicate enabling these settings can incur roughly a 30% performance hit on high-end GPUs like the RTX 5090, revealing the game's intended visuals while forcing players to balance fidelity against frame-rate.
