How Much Is Arc Raiders?

Arc Raiders costs $39.99 USD for the Standard Edition. The Deluxe Edition is $59.99 USD. The price is the same across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — you buy it once on your platform of choice and own it.

Price by Platform

Platform	Standard	Deluxe	Where to Buy
PC	$39.99	$59.99	Steam
PlayStation 5	$39.99	$59.99	PlayStation Store
Xbox Series X\|S	$39.99	$59.99	Microsoft Store

UK pricing is £32.99 Standard / £49.99 Deluxe. Other regions follow the same 1.5x multiplier between editions.

Is It Free-to-Play?

No. Arc Raiders is a paid release. It was announced as free-to-play in 2021, but Embark Studios changed that before launch and shipped it as a $39.99 paid game in October 2025. Any source that still calls it free-to-play is out of date.

What’s in the Deluxe Edition?

The $20 difference between Standard and Deluxe is cosmetic content (skins, cosmetics, and edition-specific items). Both editions get the full base game and all gameplay content. There is no gameplay or content advantage to Deluxe — it’s a cosmetic upgrade.

Online Subscription Costs

Arc Raiders is online-only, so console players also need an active online subscription on top of the base purchase:

PS5: PlayStation Plus (any tier, from ~$9.99/month).
Xbox Series X|S: Xbox Game Pass Core (from ~$9.99/month).
PC: No additional subscription.

These are platform-level requirements that apply to any paid online game, not Arc Raiders-specific costs.

Game Pass

Arc Raiders is not on Xbox Game Pass at launch. If a Game Pass deal is announced later, we’ll update our Game Pass tracker.
