Embark Tightens Arc Raiders Family Sharing, Extending Suspensions to Entire Groups

The studio says the policy targets burner-account abuse to protect match integrity.

Overview

  • If any account in a Steam Family is banned while using a shared Arc Raiders license, every account in that family receives a restriction.
  • Embark confirms the rule also applies when the suspended user is the library owner tied to the purchased license.
  • Once a ban occurs in a family group, Steam Family Sharing for Arc Raiders is disabled for that group going forward.
  • Affected players must be removed from the family and purchase their own copy to regain access, and removing the offender does not lift the restriction.
  • Embark frames the move as part of broader anti-cheat efforts after persistent cheating complaints, with some coverage noting the risk of innocent family members losing access.
