ARC Raiders crossplay: How to add friends 

To add friends from other gaming platforms to ARC Raiders, you’ll need their Embark username. This username is created when you first set up your Embark account, whether you’re starting ARC Raiders or have played The Finals before. You can find your own and your friends’ usernames in the game’s menu under the ‘Social’ tab.

Your Embark username will be the name you choose combined with a four-digit number, like Name#1234. This is different from your usernames on other platforms, like your Xbox, PlayStation, or Steam account.

After you get your friend’s Embark username, go to the social panel. You can find this by pressing the options or start button on the main screen, then select ‘Add Friend’.

To invite a friend, enter their Embark username and the four-digit number after it (like username#1234). Then, confirm you want to send the invite. Your friend will see the invite in the menu, and if they’re already playing, they’ll get a pop-up notification to accept it right away.

ARC Raiders: How to turn off crossplay 

Sometimes I like to disable crossplay, and it’s actually really easy to do. The best part is, I can switch it on or off whenever I want.

To enable or disable crossplay, first open the game menu and select “Settings”. Then, go to the “Gameplay” tab and find the Crossplay option. You can toggle it on or off from there. Keep in mind that you can only change this setting when you’re not actively looking for a match or playing a game.
