Join the Largest Public Playtets of ARC Raiders
Get ready to drop into the Rust Belt once again. ARC Raiders is back with a new five-day public playtest from April 30 to May 4. This is Tech Test 2, and for the first time, you can join the action on consoles, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, in addition to PC. It’s your chance to explore a broken world, battle brutal ARC machines, and scavenge for valuable loot in a tense PvPvE sandbox.
You can register now through Steam, the Epic Games Store, or arcraiders.com if you’re playing on a console. If you’ve taken part in a previous playtest, you’ll get automatic access to this one as well.
This round brings expanded features, including more ARC enemies, new weapons, gear, and gadgets, plus deeper progression and crafting systems. You’ll also get a first look at the upcoming Battle Pass.
In ARC Raiders, you play as a Raider, one of many survivors scavenging the surface while fighting to stay alive underground. Whether you run solo or in a squad of up to three, every mission is a balancing act between risk and reward. Towering machines, rival players, and the constant threat of ambush keep you guessing with every step.
If you’re into tactical survival with a high-stakes twist, this is your moment to dive in. Shape your journey, fight your way through the chaos, and build your legacy on your terms. ARC Raiders launches in 2025 across PC, consoles, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. This test is your chance to step in early and see what’s coming.
