Arma Reforger made a grand entry to PlayStation 5 on December 12, 2024, and since then, its player base has skyrocketed. With an initial early access released in 2022, Arma Reforger failed to grip a large player base, with player count dropping down to 500 very quickly. But, as Arma Reforger got released on PS5 recently, it is getting the much deserved attention. This tactical shooter military simulation game, paired with first-and-third-person viewpoints delivers an open-world experience to the players and has now introduced crossplay, directing all the eyes towards this game.
Arma Reforger Blows Up On Steam
Arma Reforger was released on PS5 on December 12, 2024, introducing cross-play enabled on both official and private servers. The introduction of crossplay allowed players from PC, XBOX, and PlayStation to compete against each other. And, with this new inclusion, Arma Reforger is experiencing much-deserved hype, which is evident from its skyrocketing popularity.
As this Military Simulation was released back in 2022, it failed to keep up with the players’ expectations and pretty much failed the gaming ground. This can be proved by the sinking numbers it encountered back in the day. But, it experienced an all-time high recently, on January 5, 2025, with the player count shooting up to 5 figures. These numbers are enough to prove that Arma Reforger is definitely having its time, making a comeback in the gaming scene.
As Arma Reforger dropped on PlayStation, it offered authentic cold-war era combat with detailed environments, improved performance, and off-course crossplay, giving a seamless combat experience across platforms. The PS version also came with exclusive features tailored to the DualSense controller like adaptive trigger resistance that adjusts with each weapon type, precise haptic feedback for intensified immersion, and motion controls allowing exact customizability. And with all of this, Arma Reforger is getting the spotlight back, just like the other games of Arma Universe.
Summary
Arma Reforger introduces crossplay with its PS5 release, paving the way to becoming the fan-favorite military simulation game. The numbers make it quite evident, with the player base reaching as high as 12,547 (24-hour peak) for Arma Reforger. Other upgrades made to the game, like, better environments and features in line with the DualSense controller together give players a very realistic gaming experience which is also responsible for Arma Reforger to take over Consoles.
