It was the surprise hit of late 2025, and its player count is still giving Bungie's Marathon a run for its money. Arc Raiders, from the Swedish studio Embark, will see its great soundtrack drop on vinyl at the very end of the year, courtesy of iam8bit. This 2LP set features a total of 27 tracks from both the game's original soundtrack, released on streaming platforms last November 7th, and the Riven Tides album, which came out just recently alongside a content update.
Two editions are available, both priced at $42.95. The first features two colored discs inspired by the game's color palette, while the second offers two black vinyl records, but in 180g—a standard preferred by audiophiles. In Europe, you can pre-order both versions from Black Screen Records for €45.
Composed by Patrik Andrén and Johan Söderqvist, both in-house composers at Embark, the Arc Raiders soundtrack is a gem of atmospheric electronic music that blends perfectly with the hostile, inhospitable environment of the planet you explore on your expeditions.
Sure, the tactical extraction gameplay in Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders is fabulously designed and finely tuned, but the game’s gloriously retro look and feel — a world filled with junk drawers, rusted chrome, and forgotten relics of the space race — is just as important to its impressive success.
It’s a deeply immersive experience, and a key component of that immersion lies in ARC Raiders’ sound design. Machines whir, hum, roar, and buzz, grass and dirt crunches under combat boots, guns pop and clank with metallic resonance. And to top it all off, a killer soundtrack sets the game’s impeccable mood. It’s the cherry on top of a delicious sundae, and there’s nothing that iam8bit loves more than an auditory sweet treat.
That’s why we’re proud to present this: The ARC Raiders 2xLP (iam8bit Edition)! This 2xLP is filled with your favorite songs from ARC Raiders, including the title track, the hub music from “Speranza,” atmospheric themes like “The New World,” and much more from composers Patrik Andrén, Johan Söderqvist, & Embark Studios. It’s pressed on Split Spectrum vinyl, inspired by ARC Raiders’ aesthetic and graphic design. Each disc features two colors pulled from the game’s striking palette.
Plus, the album art by ARC Raiders Art Director Robert Sammelin adorns a unique widespine jacket with die cut detailing, so you can swap the inner sleeve on display to match whichever color you’re feeling that particular day.
ARC Raiders is a once-in-a-lifetime game — don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime vinyl release to match.
