All you need to know about crossplay in ARC Raiders
Has ARC Raiders piqued your interest? If yes, you probably wonder if you will be able to play it with your friends (who might use a different device than you) thanks to crossplay feature. Here you will find your answer.
Battlefield series. Their title is not released, yet it has been through a couple of testing stages already, and it seems that a lot of people are interested, since more than 20,000 fans were checking it out concurrently last weekend (via SteamDB). PC is not the only platform on which the game will be available, though. So, many people wonder about crossplay. Will we be able to play ARC Raiders with our friends regardless of the device used? Let’s find out.
Crossplay in ARC Raiders explained
While the Tech Test 2 for ARC Raiders has already concluded, it shows a lot more promise than what we have seen in the case of Marathon's. This bodes well for the title and many fans are starting to wonder about the playerbase – if it will be possible to play with others using different devices thanks to crossplay.
The answer is fortunately quite simple – yes. Indeed, the game will feature crossplay between Steam, Epic, PlayStation 5 and Xbox (at least according to the information posted on the official Discord channel) with no strings attached. However, to be able to utilize this feature, it will have to be enabled, both in the console’s settings menu as well as in the ARC Raiders itself. This means that console players will have an option to choose whether or not to battle together (or against) fans who will enjoy the game on PC, or vice-versa.
As I have already mentioned, the most recent playtest is finished. Do not fret if you have missed it, though. The developers are planning to release the full version of the game still this year, so it’s not far away. Keep your eyes out for more news regarding the exact premiere date.
