ARC Raiders is Embark Studios' multiplayer extraction adventure, out since October 30, 2025: on a future Earth ravaged by the mechanized threat known as ARC, you gear up in the underground city of Speranza, then head topside to scavenge, solo or in a party of up to three. ARC machines and other Raiders are both threats — or allies, if you choose. AnySquad's LFG posts help ARC Raiders players find a squad of three.
Topside in ARC Raiders, a solo Raider is a walking loot crate — for ARC machines and for every other squad that hears you. A party of three covers each other while looting, takes on the bigger machines, and decides together whether the Raiders across the map are friends or a fight.
ARC Raiders is developed and published by Embark Studios. It has been on Steam since 2025. Multiplayer listed on Steam: online PvP, online co-op and cross-platform play. 82% of its 304,592 Steam reviews are positive. It is Playable on Steam Deck.
A duo is the easiest way to play ARC Raiders with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
ARC Raiders posts on AnySquad are tagged by platform, so every post you see is one you can play with.
Say how many players you need, when you play, and the one thing you care about — a mic, a rank, a region or just no raging. Leave out the rest: a short post gets answered, a list of requirements gets scrolled past. Once your group is set, close the post.
