Yes. ARC Raiders supports crossplay across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Embark’s support article specifically names Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is online-only, but you can play alone or form a team of two or three.

Which platforms can play together?

Embark says ARC Raiders supports social play across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Its official site lists Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and GeForce NOW. The more specific Friends & parties support article names Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S for crossplay.

Those statements establish cross-platform play and identify those three crossplay endpoints; they do not spell out every possible storefront or cloud-service party configuration. In particular, the platform list alone should not be treated as confirmation that every listed service can join every other platform in every setup.

How do you invite a friend to your party?

Embark’s Friends & parties instructions describe sending a friend request by selecting a player in the recent-player list, then inviting a Raider to a party from the lobby. Menu wording and layout can change, so use the current directions in the official help article if your screens differ.

How does the crossplay setting affect a party?

In a party, the most restrictive member’s crossplay setting applies to the whole group, according to Embark’s Matchmaking Troubleshooting – PC/Console guidance. That means your own crossplay setting may be enabled while the party queues with crossplay disabled because another member has it off.

Embark also identifies crossplay being off as a common reason matchmaking can feel slow. Enabling it may help find a match faster, but the guidance is not a promise of a particular queue time.

If a mixed-platform party has trouble matchmaking

  1. Ask each party member to check their crossplay setting; the most restrictive setting governs the party.
  2. Check that the matchmaking region is appropriate for the party.
  3. Where the setting is available, set Server to Automatic. Embark provides separate PC and console navigation in its troubleshooting article.

Can you play ARC Raiders solo?

Yes, but solo means playing without teammates—not playing offline. PlayStation describes ARC Raiders as online multiplayer-only and lists solo, two-player, and three-player team configurations. That description does not establish that solo players are guaranteed a lobby containing only solo players.

What is not established about crossplay?

The cited platform and support pages do not settle cross-progression, account linking, console online-subscription requirements, or whether every storefront and cloud service can party together in every configuration. Check the current platform and support information for those details rather than assuming that crossplay answers them.
