ARC Raiders: Is it cross-platform?

ARC Raiders fully supports cross-platform play. That means whether you‘re playing on PC, Xbox Series X|S, or PlayStation 5, you will be able to team up with friends, regardless of the device they’re using.

Embark Studios clearly understands that teamwork shouldn't be limited by hardware. The game’s core revolves around co-operative action, and enabling cross-platform functionality opens up the experience to a wider audience.

Adding to the excitement, ARC Raiders is currently in its Tech Test 2 phase, and for the first time, console players are getting a chance to join in on the action early. This test phase not only gives players a sneak peek into the gameplay but also lets them stream their experience and share honest impressions, contributing to the game’s refinement ahead of launch.

Cross-platform matchmaking also plays a big role during this test period, allowing players to connect easily and find teammates faster. But if you prefer sticking within your own console community, ARC Raiders is expected to offer options to disable crossplay. It’s all about playing your way; whether that means opening up to a broader players' base or keeping things more familiar.
