Acquistabile, in sconto, in versione alpha, ArmA III mantiene un elevato flusso di vendite su Steam ed è già un successo per Bohemia.
Ma la strada da fare prima della versione finale, prevista per ottobre, è ancora lunga. La nuova patch compie un grosso passo in avanti sistemando il lag dei veicoli, diversi crash, le collisioni dei veicoli e migliorando le ombre. Vengono inoltre ribilanciati diversi aspetti ed eliminati svariati bug come il lancio delle granate sott'acqua.
