This New Game Dumps Free-To-Play Model, Changes To $40 Premium Release
As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, Embark Studios–which was co-founded by Battlefield veteran Patrick Soderlund–revealed a new trailer for the PvPvE third-person shooter Arc Raiders and also confirmed a key detail about its pricing plan.
Arc Raiders was announced as a free-to-play game, but it is now shifting to a premium model and will cost $40 at launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A public technical test will be available October 24-27 on Steam.
Regarding the price change, Arc Raiders executive producer Aleksander Grøndal said, “It became increasingly clear to us during development that a premium model is a better fit for the experience we’re building with Arc Raiders.”
