Are you tired of seeing your ARC Raiders games being ruined by other players? With a recent update, Embark Studios has made sure to address this issue.
A real phenomenon at the end of 2025, ARC Raiders is one of those games that we didn’t really see coming, but which today we can’t do without at all. It must be said that with this new extraction-shooter, Embark Studios has brilliantly managed to establish itself in a market that is very difficult to access, namely PvPvE multiplayer service games. Because yes, some people perhaps tend to forget it, but the objective of ARC Raiders is not necessarily to pit players against each other. This is why the studio has implemented a strategy that will make people happy.
ARC Raiders improves its matchmaking system
Everyone will agree on this: although it is part of the experience, there is probably nothing more frustrating than spending long minutes, even long hours, looting all kinds of stuff only to finally lose everything because of other players. Because even if ARC Raiders does not necessarily encourage violence between players, it does not prohibit it either. In fact, many do not hesitate to take advantage of it, which could discourage some. That being said, Embark Studios still thought of these.
During a live broadcast with the media GamesBeat, Patrick Söderlund, the studio boss, revealed that the servers had been redesigned to better bring together players according to their playing style. “If you prefer to play PvE and have less conflict with other players, you will be more connected [avec d’autres joueurs amicaux] » he notably confirmed. “Of course, it’s not an exact science.” however adds the creator of ARC Raiders.
Because more than just your propensity to confront players or not, which is a mechanism implemented very recently according to him, the matchmaking system is mainly based on your personal skills and the number of players in your squad. However, if by chance your next wanderings in ARC Raiders were a little calmer, now you will know why. This should therefore delight many players, who now number nearly 12 million to have tried the experience according to Alinea Analytics.
