ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders is just around the corner as Embark Studios have unveiled the final details about the platforms that will support the game, specs, price, and more.

As Embark Studios' THE FINALS is also experiencing a growth, in both in-game and esports terms, the expectation around the possibilities with ARC Raiders are big. With the game launching in one month, fans want to know more about Embark Studios' brand new shooter. Well, that's why we're here today.

Here's everything you need to know about ARC Raiders:

When will ARC Raiders be released?

ARC Raiders will be released on October 30, 2025.

Embark Studios first revealed ARC Raiders in 2021 and, back then, the shooter was expected to be a free-to-play. Unfortunately, we have bad news for you.

Will ARC Raiders be free-to-play?

It has already been confirmed that ARC Raiders won't be a free-to-play video game.

Unlike Embark Studios' THE FINALS, ARC Raiders won't be a free-to-play shooter. This extraction adventure will require players to make a purchase to access all of the features. Additionally, ARC Raiders will also feature micro-transactions, just like any other FPS on the market.

What platforms will support ARC Raiders?

Players will be able to play ARC Raiders on PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S.

Players who want to play ARC Raiders on PC will be able to download the game from Steam or the Epic Store. Meanwhile, console players will have to do it from their respective platform store.

How much will ARC Raiders be?

There will be two editions available of ARC Raiders including Standard and Deluxe. While ARC Raiders Standard Edition will be USD$40, the ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition will be USD$60.

People who want to acquire ARC Raiders can already purchase Embark Studios' title as the pre-purchase phase has already opened. You can do it here.

Keep in mind that the rewards that players will be able to claim for pre-ordering ARC Raiders and purchasing it on release date will be different. Keep on reading for more information about what the ARC Raiders Deluxe edition includes and what pre-sale rewards will players get!

What does the ARC Raiders Deluxe edition include?

Bundles ARC Raiders

Players will be able to secure exclusive cosmetics for purchasing the ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition. Here's a look at all of the items that ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition owners will unlock:

  • Valente Outfit and color variants
  • Pathfinder Backpack
  • Blanket Roll Backpack Attachment
  • Lip Scar Cosmetic
  • Finger Gun: Rapid Fire Emote
  • Cowboy Scrappy Skin
  • 2,400 Raider Tokens

However, those who pre-order the ARC Raiders Deluxe edition will get all of the above as well as the following items:
