Games Like ARC Raiders
Enjoyed (or waiting on) ARC Raiders and want similar PvPvE extraction games? These are the catalogued alternatives, grouped by verified attributes — free vs paid, solo/PvE options, and the more sim-leaning hardcore titles.
We group alternatives by verified attributes — free vs paid, whether Steam lists a solo/PvE mode, and sim-leaning genre tags. We don’t score “how similar” a game is, because that would be opinion, not fact. See the full ARC Raiders entry for its own details.
No longer playable: The Cycle: Frontier — servers have shut down, so we don’t recommend it as a live alternative.
