All you need to know about crossplay in ARC Raiders

The Clair Obscure Expedition 33 has demonstrated what independent developers, freed from the constraints of large corporations, can accomplish. This could potentially lead to significant stress but also offers hope for ARC Raiders, an action-packed shooter set in a third-person perspective that is being developed by Embark Studios. The team behind this project boasts many seasoned creators who previously worked with EA DICE, primarily known for their work on the Battlefield series. Although not yet released, ARC Raiders has already been through multiple testing phases, and last weekend alone, over 20,000 enthusiastic fans were simultaneously checking it out via SteamDB. While the game will be available on PC, other platforms are also planned. Given this multi-platform approach, many players are curious about crossplay. Will we be able to play ARC Raiders with our friends regardless of the device they’re using? Let’s explore that possibility.

Crossplay in ARC Raiders explained

The Tech Test 2 for ARC Raiders has ended, but it seems to have greater potential than Concord, a fact that most people are already aware of. Additionally, there’s a strong possibility that Embark has hit the mark with Arc Raiders, as the gameplay appears to be more favorably received compared to Marathon. This is good news for the game, and many enthusiasts are now speculating about the playerbase – specifically, whether crossplay will allow players using different devices to team up together.

The good news is that the game will indeed allow crossplay across Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox platforms. As stated on the official Discord channel, this feature should be available without any restrictions. However, it’s important to note that in order to use this feature, you’ll need to enable it both in your console settings and within the ARC Raiders game itself. This gives players on different platforms the choice to either team up (or compete) with PC users, or the other way around.

Just a heads up, the latest playtest has been wrapped up. Don’t worry if you couldn’t participate; the developers are aiming to launch the complete game this year itself, which means we’re almost there. Stay tuned for updates on the official release date.
