What kind of game is ARC Raiders?
Embark describes ARC Raiders as a PvPvE extraction adventure. Players scavenge, evade ARC machines and other Raiders, then try to extract; PlayStation’s game page says the online multiplayer game supports solo play or groups of two or three. The PlayStation listing identifies the release date for PS5 as October 30, 2025; it does not establish PS4 support.
