The year is off to a strong start for PS5 players. As end-of-year promotions continue on the PlayStation Store, Arc Raidersthe extraction shooter from Embark Studios, is already one of the must-haves. “Arc Raiders Deluxe Edition is currently 20% off on PlayStation Store.”
Initially offered at $59.99, its price is temporarily reduced to $47.99. A good deal, provided you act quickly: the offer ends on January 8, 2026 at 2:59 a.m. EST. And for more modest players, the standard version benefits from the same discount, going from $39.99 to $31.99.
A nervous shooter in a ravaged world, between action and survival
Arc Raiders stands out from classic FPS games with its controlled post-apocalyptic atmosphere. You operate in a two-story world: on the surface, killer machines reign supreme, while underground, the city of Speranza buzzes with human activity. Gameplay revolves around collecting, repairing and upgrading equipment that you use for your high-risk excursions.
The campaign can be played alone or with up to three players. “Play solo or in groups of up to three, facing the constant threat of ARC machines and the unpredictable choices of other survivors.”
But beyond the combat, the game leaves a significant amount of freedom for the player. “In the end, only you decide what kind of raider you are – and how far you will go to survive.”
Contents of the editions: what is the Deluxe Edition really worth?
With the current promotion, both editions become particularly attractive, but what exactly does the Deluxe version contain? In addition to the base game, players will find:
- THE Wanderer box setwith exclusive cosmetics
- A rapid fire emotebased on finger gun
- A minimalist body shape and outfit
- And above all, 2,400 Raider Tokensthe game’s virtual currency
So many elements that can make the difference for those who want to personalize their avatar from the first hours of play. Those who just want to discover Arc Raiders without any frills can opt for the standard version at a lower cost.
A critically acclaimed shooter not to be missed
Arc Raiders is not just a game on sale: it is also a title praised for its quality. “According to Metacritic, it had an average score of 86.”
Supported by strong artistic direction and well-oiled game mechanics, it is already among the references of the genre on PS5. Its extraction system, its constant tension and the variety of situations offered make it a particularly immersive experience.
With this limited-time offer, Sony is hitting hard from the start of 2026. A few days before the end of the promotion, those who are undecided would do well not to hang around too long.
