The wait is over for PlayStation gamers eager to experience one of the most acclaimed military simulation franchises. Bohemia Interactive has officially launched Arma Reforger on PlayStation 5, bringing its realistic military sandbox gameplay to the console platform for the first time. Powered by the Enfusion Engine, Arma Reforger promises a new level of performance, enhanced graphics, and features tailored specifically for PS5 players.
A Milestone for the Arma Franchise
Since its inception over two decades ago, the Arma series has set the benchmark for military simulation games, earning a reputation for unparalleled realism and open-world gameplay. From Arma: Cold War Assault (2001) to the highly successful Arma 3 (2013), the franchise has consistently pushed the boundaries of what military simulators can achieve. Now, with Arma Reforger, Bohemia Interactive offers PlayStation players a chance to dive into the action like never before.
Set in an authentic Cold War-era environment, Arma Reforger introduces players to the fictional islands of Everon and Arland. With a combined area of 61 km², these sprawling landscapes are meticulously detailed, featuring period-specific weapons, vehicles, and equipment that bring the 1989 setting to life.
Exclusive Features for PS5
Arma Reforger has been optimized to take full advantage of the PS5’s hardware capabilities, delivering a smoother and more immersive gaming experience. Exclusive features for the DualSense controller include:
- Adaptive Triggers: Variable resistance tailored to each weapon type, enhancing the tactile sensation of every shot fired.
- Haptic Feedback: Precise vibrations that simulate the environment and actions, whether it’s the rumble of a vehicle or the recoil of a weapon.
- Motion Controls: Fine-tune your aim and movements with motion input for added precision.
Game Modes for Every Playstyle
Whether you prefer strategic, cooperative, or fast-paced action, Arma Reforger offers four distinct game modes to suit every type of player:
- Conflict: A large-scale multiplayer mode where teams battle for control of key points across two massive islands. Beyond combat, players must manage logistics, build structures, and strategize to secure victory.
- Game Master: A creative sandbox mode where players can design custom missions and scenarios. Game Masters can adjust these scenarios in real time, creating unique and dynamic experiences.
- Combat Ops: Designed for cooperative or single-player gameplay, this mode challenges players with dynamic objectives and intense tactical missions.
- Capture & Hold: A high-intensity mode that condenses Arma’s signature realism into short, action-packed matches.
Crossplay and Future Updates
One of the most exciting features of Arma Reforger is crossplay, allowing players across platforms to engage in battles together seamlessly. Although modding—a hallmark of the Arma series—is not yet available for the PS5 version, Bohemia Interactive has confirmed plans to introduce this feature in future updates, ensuring the PlayStation community can enjoy the creativity of Arma’s vast modding ecosystem.
Price and Availability
Arma Reforger is now available for $39.99 USD (€39.99 EUR / £39.99 GBP) on the PlayStation Store. But buyers should know a PlayStation Plus subscription is required for online multiplayer, which supports up to 64 players.
