▤ Field manualIs ARC Raiders crossplay? Platforms & cross-progression
Short answer: yes. ARC Raiders supports crossplay across all its platforms, so you can raid the surface with friends whether they're on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. Here's the detail.
The platforms
ARC Raiders is available on:
- PC — via Steam and the Epic Games Store
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
There's no last-gen (PS4 / Xbox One) version — it's a current-generation and PC title built on Embark's own tech.
Crossplay: squad across platforms
Crossplay is on by default, so a PC player can party with friends on PlayStation and Xbox and drop into the same raid. Because ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction game, that also means you'll encounter — and be encountered by — raiders from every platform in a lobby, not just your own.
Cross-progression
Your progress is tied to your Embark account, not to a single storefront. Linking that account lets your unlocks and progression follow you if you play on more than one platform. It's the same account system the game uses to keep your loadouts, blueprints, and cosmetics consistent.
Playing together
Because everything is account-based and crossplay is standard, squadding up is just a matter of adding each other in-game.
