Embark Overhauls ARC Raiders: Duos Matchmaking Goes Live, Cosmetic Prices Cut

Automatic Raider Token refunds follow lower cosmetic prices taking effect Nov. 13 at 10:30 CET.

Overview

  • Embark confirmed it has enabled Duo‑prioritized matchmaking, aiming to pair Solos with Solos, Duos with Duos, Trios with Trios, and keep Squads separate for fairer lobbies.
  • Developers note the matchmaking system is not guaranteed in every round, so mixed team sizes may still occur depending on player populations.
  • Revised cosmetic prices roll out on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 10:30 CET, though the studio has not specified the size of the reductions.
  • Players who purchased cosmetics at prior prices will automatically receive Raider Token refunds for the difference within the coming week.
  • Only free Raider Decks will include gameplay items, with future premium Decks limited to cosmetics and convenience to avoid any pay‑to‑win advantages.
