Marathon

Sci-fi setting

Bungie's extraction shooter drops you as a cybernetic Runner, solo or in a crew of three, onto the mysterious world of Tau Ceti IV to grab loot and fight rival players for a successful escape. Its bold, graphic-design-driven sci-fi aesthetic sets it apart from typical military shooters.

Arena Breakout: Infinite

Resources and survival

An unforgiving extraction shooter where you risk your gear in raids against AI and real players, keeping only what you manage to carry out alive. Realistic gunplay and sharp sound design keep every encounter tense.

Active Matter

Loot and gear

A sci-fi extraction shooter in which you play an operative caught in a time loop, entering unstable zones full of physics-warping anomalies, looting and fighting rivals, and escaping before the zone collapses.

ARC Raiders

Shooting and gunplay

A tense third-person extraction shooter where you scavenge a machine-ruled future Earth for loot. Every other Raider you meet might become an ally or a threat. A striking 70s-inspired retro sci-fi look gives the world a strong atmosphere.

Escape from Tarkov

Resources and survival

A brutally hardcore extraction shooter where every raid risks all the gear you bring in. It stands out for its deep weapon customization, realistic ballistics and nerve-wracking encounters with other players.

Gray Zone Warfare

Resources and survival

A realistic tactical first-person shooter on a quarantined Southeast Asian island where you take contracts from factions alone or with a squad. Punishing gunfights, gear management and looting keep the tension high.

Ghosts of Tabor

Loot and gear

A VR-only extraction shooter in the vein of Escape from Tarkov, where you loot, craft and survive against other players and AI enemies. Hands-on weapon handling in VR makes every raid tense and risky.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

Shooting and gunplay

A multiplayer-focused shooter with no traditional campaign: fast-paced competitive matches, three Zombies adventures, and the Blackout battle royale on the largest Call of Duty map to date.

Stalzone

Loot and gear

An extraction shooter set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where anomalies and rival factions shape the danger. Unlike many genre peers, it aims to let you keep your progress instead of constantly starting over.
