"Arc Raiders, the upcoming third-person extraction shooter from Embark Studios, combines some of the best ideas of the genre with that hard-to-pin-down online experience to cut through the crowd and stand out. The developer held an open playtest server slam for the game from October 17 to October 19 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, opening limited gameplay features to all players. The playtest hit nearly 200,000 concurrent players on Steam alone."
"It captures the same kind of multiplayer magic that Helldivers 2 did, too, where the game allows players to find their own experience online rather than carefully crafting one for them. Arc Raiders is what you make of it. It's an extraction shooter where you scavenge supplies, find what you're looking for, and dip out. It's a multiplayer shooter where you take on other players looking for valuables."
Embark Studios' Arc Raiders is a third-person PvPvE extraction shooter set on a futuristic Earth where robots toppled civilization and humans live underground. Raiders travel topside to scavenge resources and must balance fighting hostile machines with competing human players while extracting loot. An open playtest ran October 17–19 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X and peaked near 200,000 concurrent Steam players. The playtest offered limited features but demonstrated emergent multiplayer moments where players shaped their own experiences. The game mixes scavenging, PvP encounters, and cooperative combat against robotic threats in a post-apocalyptic setting.
