ARC Raiders will offer a limited-time free trial alongside the "Frostscar Path" update. From 2:00 AM PT on October 8 to 1:00 AM PT on October 12, players can download and play the full game on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms without needing to purchase it first.
The free trial begins on the same day as the "Frostscar Path" update. The update includes a new map, three new ARC enemies, as well as new weapons, items, adjustments to the progression system, and new endgame content. When teaming up with friends who already have game progress, trial players can immediately explore the new map.
This free access is limited to the aforementioned period. After the free trial ends, players who wish to continue playing must purchase the game; progress made during the trial will be retained upon purchase.
