ARC Raiders β buy the co-op extraction shooter as a Steam gift
ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter by Swedish studio Embark Studios β the same team behind The Finals. It launched on October 30, 2025 and almost immediately gathered awards: "Most Innovative Gameplay" at the 2025 Steam Awards and Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2025. Here ARC Raiders is sold not as a key but as a full Steam gift: a copy of the game flies straight into your library via our bot. You can pay from Russia and the CIS, and there's no manual code activation to deal with.
What the game is and where its tension sits
It's set on a ravaged future Earth where mechanical machines called ARC have descended from the sky. Humanity has retreated underground to the settlement of Speranza, and as a Raider you head up to the surface to scavenge: resources, weapons, crafting parts. The danger up top is twofold β not just robots but other live players. It's a third-person PvPvE mix where every run can end in a fat haul or in losing everything you gathered. The goal is simple and nerve-wracking at once: fill your pack and extract alive before you get caught.
Solo or a squad of up to three
You can play alone or team up with up to three people. Solo, ARC Raiders feels like a hard stealth-survival run: you hide, count bullets and soberly weigh whether a firefight over a couple of rounds is even worth it. In a squad it's about coordination β who holds the flank, who carries the loot, who distracts the machine. Between raids you return to Speranza to craft gear, level up skill trees (Survival, Mobility, Conditioning) and pick up quests from traders. The gift grants full access to all of these modes.
The editions in the catalog
We have two options, and both are the full game, not an add-on:
- ARC Raiders (Standard) β clean access to the game, no cosmetics. Pick it if you just want to play without paying extra for looks.
- ARC Raiders Deluxe Edition β the same game plus bonuses: 2,400 Raider Tokens (in-game currency), the "The Wanderer" pack with the "Valente" Legendary outfit, the "Pathfinder" backpack and the "Blanket Roll" attachment, the "Scrappy" skin and the "Finger Gun" emote. The cosmetics don't affect combat, but you get a starting stash of tokens and a solid set of looks.
The gift delivery flow
Delivery is via Steam Gift, not a code. You create a friend invite link in the client ("Friends" β "Add a Friend") and provide it at checkout along with your account region. Our bot then adds itself as your friend, sends the ARC Raiders gift, and automatically leaves your friends list after delivery β nothing to confirm by hand. Steam Guard isn't required for this, and neither is owning any games or having activity on the account. We don't promise a strict timing: usually quick, but sometimes worth a short wait.
Region and the mandatory conditions
The main thing to watch: your Steam account region must match the gift region. The region is tied to a specific listing and visible by its currency, so pick the listing for your country and enter the region accurately at checkout. The second condition β ARC Raiders must not already be in this account's library, or Steam refuses a gift for a game you own. Also make sure friend requests are enabled in your profile settings, or the bot can't reach you. If regions don't line up or the game is already there, the gift bounces back and we credit its value to your Brawl Games balance.
If something goes wrong
The most common reason the bot fails to add you is disabled friend requests or an expired invite link. Enable friend requests in your profile privacy, generate a fresh link and message us in the site chat β we'll resend. Such hiccups are rare, and we work through them without unnecessary hassle.
Why a gift instead of a key
ARC Raiders has no regional retail key distribution, so a Steam gift is the most direct way to get the game into your library legally and without fiddling with activation. You don't type anything into Steam by hand: the gift arrives already tied to the account, and all that's left is to hit "Accept." That's handy if you'd rather not deal with regional keys and VPNs β here everything comes down to matching your account region with the gift region at the order stage. You can buy ARC Raiders as a gift for yourself or a friend.
Launch, platform and performance
The game targets PC on Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Once the gift is in your library, you manage it like any other Steam purchase: install, update, launch. ARC Raiders is an online project, so you need a stable connection and an active Steam account; an extraction shooter has no offline mode for obvious reasons. The gift itself doesn't limit you on updates or future seasons β it's a full copy of the game, not temporary access.
Awards and player reception
ARC Raiders got off to a confident start: press and players received it warmly overall, and by year's end the project had collected several awards at once. At the 2025 Steam Awards it won "Most Innovative Gameplay", at The Game Awards 2025 it took Best Multiplayer Game, and at the D.I.C.E. Awards it was recognized as "Online Game of the Year". Praise goes first of all to its fresh take on the extraction-shooter genre, the tense surface runs and the way it balances PvP and PvE without collapsing into pure deathmatch or a quiet co-op. For you that means one thing: as a gift you're getting not a raw experiment but a proven, acclaimed project from Embark Studios that is actively alive and growing season by season.
What else to eye at Brawl Games
If it's the tactical side of ARC Raiders that grabs you β planning a run, positioning, splitting roles in a squad β take a look at Men of War: a real-time military strategy where success rests on planning and managing your forces rather than aim speed. And to grab anything yourself without being tied to regional listings, a Steam Gift Card is handy β top up your Steam wallet and decide whether to spend it on the ARC Raiders Deluxe edition, cosmetics or another game.
