Welcome to my in-depth first impressions of the Arc Raiders Beta on the PlayStation 5! After diving deep into the open beta, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on everything from visuals, gameplay, AI, and character customization, to what it’s like fighting Arcs with your squad — and why the sound design blew me away.
With cross play and cross platform support confirmed and a $40 price tag, Arc Raiders could seriously shake up the shooter space — and yes, it’s going head-to-head with Bungie’s upcoming game Marathon.
From the dense, loot-filled environments to the tough-as-nails robotic enemies and the frustrating (but intense) PvP system, this game has a lot going on. If you’re a fan of The Division, Destiny, or co-op shooters in general, you’ll definitely want to check this one out.
