   Arc Raiders Updates Battle Pass Pricing and Adds Endgame Content

This shift coincides with a broader push for new content, including the addition of endgame activities and a first look at Frozen Trail content scheduled for October 8. Technical stability is also a focus, as evidenced by the release of update 1.47.0, which provides various technical fixes to the game.
