    Arcade multiplayer dead in FC5?

    I am trying to platinum Far Cry 5.

    I still need to earn the trophies for killing 100 players in multiplayer and winning 10 multiplayer featured maps, but it seems like the servers are dead or at least the matchmaking is not working for me.

    Is anybody else having the same issue?

    Just to clarify, I don't have connectivity issues as I can play solo and co-op no problem!

    Hey Tommyboy138, thanks for reaching out!

    I've had a closer look however wasn't able to identify any outages or degradations and servers have been working as intended.

    Taking into consideration that we're not too far from having Far Cry 6 released, it is possible that Far Cry 5 Arcade Multiplayer is a little more quiet, therefore you can try connecting at a different or peak time and see if it's any different, however should you continue to struggle to find other players, I am afraid we would not be able to assist you much in such instance.

    Should you have any further queries, let us know!

    Thanks for that.

    Based on the activity you see on the servers, would you be able to advise when are the peak times?

    Alternatively, I don't suppose there is any other way I could get a hold of those 2 trophies so I can platinum??

    Hey Tommyboy138!

    I'm afraid we don't have access to the PlayStation Trophy system tools to unlock anything for you without the requirements being met.

    As for numbers, we don't have access to the Arcade's specific metrics, however the game's active player base does peak around 15.00 - 20.00 GMT.

    While we can't confirm how may of those are playing Arcade, that'd be the most likely time to get a match.

    If there's anything more we can check or help with, please let us know!
