Arc Raiders was the breakout shooter of 2025, and that momentum hasn’t slowed down a couple of months into 2026. This is, in large part, due to how well Embark Studios has maintained its exciting update schedule, and it seems to be making a big step with its Shared Watch event.
The Arc Raiders Shared Watch event will be doubling down on PvE, rather than PvP, which seems like the logical choice. Arc Raiders players have generally shown an aversion to PvP, despite it being a feature of the game, instead taking aim at the AI-controlled Arcs.
