Embark Studios’ new shooter, ARC Raiders, quickly became a popular game in 2025. It combines player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment (PvE) gameplay, which has sometimes caused disagreements among players. Soon after launch, videos emerged showing players working together to defeat the game’s enemies. ARC Raiders gained a reputation for its cooperative spirit, with solo players often signaling they were friendly and forming temporary teams to tackle difficult challenges. Many videos showcase players defeating huge enemies, sharing the rewards, and successfully escaping missions. However, the game also features moments of backstabbing, where players who seemed friendly suddenly turn on their allies during the escape. Some players are only interested in fighting others and will attack anyone, even those trying to cooperate. This unpredictable mix of cooperation and conflict is a core part of the ARC Raiders experience, and one streamer has recently gained attention for consistently being hostile to other players.

In ARC Raiders, some Augments have special slots called Augmented Slots. These slots let you carry more items quickly during raids. The basic MK.1 Augments don’t have these extra slots, but you can find them on more advanced versions like the MK.2 and MK.3.

The cute Astro character has quickly become a symbol of the PlayStation 5, and the game’s joyful energy and exciting levels earned it the title of Game of the Year at the 2024 Game Awards. Since launching as a PS5 exclusive, the game has been enhanced with several free updates, including a particularly well-received Christmas-themed level called Winter Wonder.
