Lite version will offer limited access

Arma 3is ready to launch into its first public alpha test on Steam, and anyone who pre-orders will be given access to this early look at the game. There isn’t going to be a lot of content included, but there will be four missions that try and show off different aspects of the military shooter ranging from scuba diving to infantry and vehicle combat.

If you haven’t pre-orderdArma 3yet, don’t worry — you’ll still be able to check out a free invite-only “lite” version when it arrives a week after the full alpha that’s landing on July 24, 2025. However, similar to the current free version ofArma 2, you won’t be able to play multiplayer or use mods.
