Play ARC Raiders for FREE from Oct 8 to Oct 12
Embark Studios
ARC Raiders released nearly 1 year ago, and ahead of our first anniversary we’re giving Raiders the chance to play for free from Oct. 8 at 11:00 CEST until Oct 12 at 10:00 CEST!
Free play will grant access to the full ARC Raiders game, the award-winning multiplayer extraction adventure set in a lethal future earth. It’s the perfect chance to invite your friends to team up against the ARC machines ravaging the surface, scavenge what you can, and extract to safety. Each session can bring new surprises, just beware of Raiders who prey on others.
You’ll also have the chance to experience ARC Raiders’ biggest update since launch, Frozen Trail. An unprecedented disruption has drawn dangers to the Rust Belt unlike anything we’ve seen before. Raiders forge a way to the icy region of Pendola Pass in a last-ditch attempt to get the Rust Belt out of ARC’s line of fire.
Introducing a new map, new ARC enemies, the colossal ARC Frigate, the Redirection map condition, new weapons, gadgets, Weapon Amplification, and more. Frozen Trail also brings new player progression with a reworked skill tree, new Reward Pass system, and customizable Raider Outposts.

There’s never been a better time to become a Raider. See you Topside!
