Embark Studios, the developers behind The Finals, have just announced that they will be hosting a second playtest for their upcoming extraction shooter, ARC Raiders.

Additionally, the test will now expand beyond PC, allowing console players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S to try out the game for the first time.

ARC Raiders Tech Test 2 Is Starting This Month

As announced by Embark Studios, ARC Raiders tech test 2 will begin on April 30 and run until May 4. Players can register via the official ARC Raiders website, and for platform choices, Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S are available.

For those who partook in the previous play test, Embark has noted that this play test has been expanded based on the feedback, with more weapons, gear, and gadgets, much deeper player progression and crafting systems, and a preview of ARC Raiders’ upcoming Battle Pass included in this tech test.

“Over the past six months, we’ve worked hard to expand the core experience, based on community feedback,” said Aleksander Grøndal, Executive Producer of ARC Raiders. “This is our chance to see how those changes perform at scale. We’re especially eager to gather feedback on progression, the combat experience, cross-platform performance, and how the experience feels now that it’s more expansive and layered.”

For those unaware, ARC Raiders is an upcoming extraction PvPvE shooter developed by the same studio that did The Finals. It has no release date other than a 2025 window and will be a premium ($40) title as confirmed by Embark.
