To play ARC Raiders, you’ll need an Embark ID, your unique account that connects your progress, purchases, and friends across platforms.
Your Embark ID:
Saves your progress, purchases, and cosmetics across all Embark games.
Enables cross-progression between Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S
Allows cross-platform play with friends on any supported system
Helps friends find and add you
Is required for support requests and account troubleshooting
The first time you launch ARC Raiders, you’ll be prompted to create an Embark ID. If you’ve never played ARC Raiders or THE FINALS, you likely don’t have an account yet. When prompted, select Create New Account.
If you’ve previously played THE FINALS or participated in any ARC Raiders tests, you already have an Embark ID. See How to Link to an Already Existing Embark ID? below.
Linking to an existing Embark ID allows you to take advantage of cross-progression. There are two ways to link to an existing Embark ID.
In-Game:
When you first launch ARC Raiders, you’ll be prompted to Create New Account or Link Existing Account.
Select Link Existing Account
Scan the QR code or click the link.
Choose the platform that’s already linked to your Embark ID to link your new platform account.
Example: If you played ARC Raiders or THE FINALS on PlayStation and now want to link your Steam account, select PlayStation as the platform you sign in with to link Steam.
On the Embark ID Platform:
Visit Embark ID
Log in with the account that is already connected to the Embark ID you want to link to
Click your account name → Connected Platforms
Link any additional accounts here.
Example: If you played ARC Raiders or THE FINALS on PlayStation and now want to link your Steam account, select PlayStation as the platform to sign in with.
Your Embark ID can be linked to one account per platform (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games, Discord and Twitch).
Visit Embark ID
Log in with your platform account
Click your account name → Connected Platforms
Here you can see all platforms currently connected to your Embark ID
On the Connected Platforms screen, you can choose to link or unlink each platform.
If multiple platforms are connected, you won’t be able to unlink the platform you’re currently signed in with. Please log in through another platform to unlink it.
Unlinking all connected platforms should be avoided, as it will result in losing access to your Embark ID along with all progress and purchases. If you unlink all third-party game accounts, your Embark ID will be permanently deleted.
You will lose:
All progress from both ARC Raiders and THE FINALS
Purchased and earned cosmetics
In-Game:
Launch ARC Raiders
Open the Social menu (👥) from the Main Menu
Your Embark ID will be displayed in the top-left, in this format: DisplayName#1234
On the Embark ID Platform:
Visit Embark ID
Select Account in the top-right
Log in with the platform your Embark ID is linked to
Select your account name in the top-right
Select Profile
Your Embark ID will appear under Display Name, in this format DisplayName#1234
Yes. To play ARC Raiders, you need an Embark ID.
It’s what keeps your progress, purchases, and cosmetics tied to your Embark account and enables:
Yes! If you’ve previously played THE FINALS or participated in ARC Raiders tests, you already have an Embark ID.
Yes, but only one account per platform. (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games, Discord, Twitch)
No. Re-linking the same platform account to a different Embark ID will not transfer your progress, earned rewards, or cosmetics, as those things are linked directly to an Embark ID account.
Don’t do this unless you’re okay losing access. If you unlink all third-party game accounts:
If you see: “The account you are trying to connect to has content saved from an Embark game and cannot be merged at this time,”it means the platform account you’re trying to link is already associated with another Embark ID. You must unlink it from the other Embark ID first.
