Embark Studios has launched a two-week event for Arc Raiders called "Shared Watch" that leans into PvE content and community-minded play. The update shifts focus away from pure extraction skirmishes to test cooperative systems and in-event rewards while leaving PvP available for those who want it. Developers say this is part of a broader effort to keep the game's social tone friendly and constructive.

  • Event length and name: "Shared Watch" runs for two weeks and is designed as a short, concentrated experiment in PvE-driven objectives and encounters within Arc Raiders' extraction framework.
  • PvE emphasis: The event prioritises cooperative goals and AI encounters over player-versus-player engagements, giving groups a reason to team up and try non‑competitive strategies.
  • Rewards and incentives: Players can expect event-specific progression and rewards tied to Shared Watch activities, intended to motivate positive interactions and shared successes rather than lonewolf play.
  • Community focus: The studio is leaning into the game's welcoming community reputation, using the event to reinforce friendly behavior and test how PvE mechanics affect player interactions across servers.
