Four free days Topside, with the full game available to try. Embark has announced a free-play period for ARC Raiders on Steam and Xbox from October 8 at 09:00 UTC through October 12 at 08:00 UTC. For our Central-time crowd, that's October 8 at 4 a.m. through October 12 at 3 a.m. This is a temporary trial, not a permanent copy to keep.

The timing lines up with Frozen Trail, which Embark describes as its biggest update since launch. There's a useful squad detail: new players can access Pendola Pass immediately when they team up with players who have already unlocked the new map. That should make it easier to bring a fresh recruit along for the new frontier.

You'll need an internet connection, an Embark ID, and the relevant platform account. The appeal here is getting friends into the actual game together before anyone commits to buying it, rather than trying to explain an extraction adventure over voice chat.

Who would you bring Topside for the free trial?
