ARC Raiders

A more approachable extraction shooter

Released on 30 October 2025 on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, ARC Raiders mixes fights against machines and other players. Each trip to the surface is about grabbing loot and getting back alive to Speranza, the underground town where you upgrade gear and traders hand out missions.

What the press says

GamingBolt praises a highly polished game with excellent gunplay, movement and immersive maps, while noting it may not convert non-fans of the genre, has little narrative focus and a few bugs. GamesRadar+ finds it tense, unpredictable and perhaps the most approachable extraction shooter yet, with outstanding sound, but calls some skill unlocks dull and the cosmetics store a little pricey. PC Gamer enjoys the weapons, maps and action-packed encounters. Eurogamer acknowledges rich combat and a friendly community but heavily penalises the use of AI-generated voices, hence its 2/5.

Platforms and prices

On 11 November 2026 the standard edition costs €39.99 and the Deluxe Edition €59.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. Steam lists French interface and subtitles, with English voice-over. Tokens, cosmetic sets and upgrades sold separately are not compared.

Who is it for?

Players who want to try extraction shooters without the genre’s usual harshness, ideally with a squad. Push Square, on PS5, also finds it tougher solo.
