Embark Studios will launch a second public playtest for ARC Raiders from April 30 through May 4, 2025. The upcoming PvPvE third-person sandbox extraction shooter expands testing to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players after the first test ran only on PC last October.
PC gamers can request access through the ARC Raiders Steam page, and console players should visit the ARC Raiders website to register their interest. Previous participants automatically receive invitations via email for this expanded test.
Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal mentioned the team has enhanced the core experience based on community feedback during the past six months. They aim to evaluate changes at scale, focusing on progression systems, combat mechanics, cross-platform performance, and overall gameplay feel.
The upcoming test features more weapons, tools, progression options, and crafting systems than before, making it the most comprehensive preview of the game to date. Players interested in experiencing Embark Studios' first project should register for this playtest ahead of the full release scheduled for later in 2025 across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.
