Arc Raiders squeezes cheaters a little harder, blocking Steam Family Sharing workarounds "to prevent abuse of shared licenses" and stop players evading bans

Embark Studios has been working to curb the amount of cheating in Arc Raiders, and the latest measure on Steam will definitely make some of their lives harder. There are now further limitations on how the extraction shooter can be shared across accounts, preventing some nefarious loopholes.

Steam Family Sharing - Valve's system allowing up to six family members access to the same library - now comes with some important caveats on Arc Raiders. "If any account in a Steam Family receives a ban while using a shared Arc Raiders license, all accounts in that family will receive a restriction," is the first, and most important rule.
