Realistic FPS Arma Reforger continues its huge Steam comeback with new update

The realistic, tactical type of FPS game is having a real resurgence right now. Gray Zone Warfare was a big hit in 2024, and Escape From Tarkov is still pulling in the players. You've also got Delta Force, Ready Or Not (which shifted to Steam and version 1.0 in 2023), and Hell Let Loose, not to mention the reveal of a new Battlefield. Given that list, you might not have expected that Arma Reforger, the awkward middle child of Bohemia's pseudo milsim series, would be able to find any love. But the Arma 3 follow up is still dominating on Steam, and a new update shows the charge isn't slowing down.
