Arc Raiders PS5 Release Date and Price
The release date for Arc Raiders on PS5 is the same as all the other platforms: October 30, 2025. Unfortunately, Arc Raiders is not a free-to-play game. The game costs $39.99 (Standard) and $59.99 (Deluxe) on the PlayStation Store. However, local pricing will be applied, and you might get the game at a cheaper rate if you are in the selected regions. Alongside PS5, Arc Raiders will be available on Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). Moreover, the game will not be available on last-gen consoles. This means that Arc Raiders will not be coming to PS4 or Xbox One. To play the game online, you must have access to PS5 online play. For that, you will need the PS Plus subscription. Unfortunately, the game itself is not available on PlayStation Plus, so you must purchase it to play. Arc Raiders will support the vibration and feedback on a DualSense controller as well. Embark Studios said that they are focusing on modern hardware to ensure higher visual fidelity, better performance, and large-scale world rendering. Before you pre-order Arc Raiders, you might wonder: How does Arc Raiders play on a PS5?
Arc Raiders PS5 Performance Expectations
Well, as per multiple users’ comments during the invite-only playtest, Arc Raiders performed smoothly on the base PS5. If we go by the Arc Raiders system requirements on PC, it is evident that the game does not require many resources. Although there have been complaints during the last playtest about crashes and black screens on PS5, we can expect them to be fixed for the full release. If you have a PS5 Pro, the performance will be even better, with the game staying at a stable 60 FPS without dropping quality. By limiting the FPS, players can also achieve the 4K quality on a PS5 Pro. PlayStation’s history with Unreal Engine 5 and The Finals suggests strong optimization, with support for features like HDR and fast SSD loading for minimal downtime between raids. So, expect some stutter-free raids in Speranza.
Will Arc Raiders Have a PS5 Physical Copy?
As of now, Embark Studios has not confirmed whether Arc Raiders will have a physical disc release for PS5. Current listings only show digital editions on the PlayStation Store and official retailer pages. However, a physical edition could be considered later, depending on the game’s reception at launch. Set in the dystopian, sci-fi world of Speranza, this cooperative multiplayer game challenges players to scavenge, survive, and extract valuable gear. All that while battling both human opponents and the relentless robotic threats of the ARC. So, it is a perfect multiplayer PvPvE experience for PlayStation gamers.
