Arc Raiders is a new third-person shooter that mixes PvP and PvE action in a futuristic world filled with robotic enemies known as ARC. Developed by Embark Studios, this game lets players fight to survive while dealing with threats from both enemies and other players.
While the game doesn’t have a full release date yet, an early access playtest is live and players can join in for free by following a few simple steps.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to get access and start playing.
How To Join the Arc Raiders Playtest
There are three main ways to join the Arc Raiders playtest:

If one of your friends already has access, they can help you out.
