Arma 3 Steam Free Weekend starts on Valentine's Day

Get ready for the Arma 3 Open Days 2019! Starting this Valentine's Day, Thursday February 14, at 18:00 UTC (check countdown timer) and ending on Monday February 18 at 18:00 UTC, everyone who has not yet enlisted for Arma 3 will be able to play the complete Arma 3 base game plus Arma 3 Apex expansion on Steam for FREE. To get access to the Free Weekend, you'll just need to visit the Arma 3 store page on Steam, and hit the Install button. If the option to Install Arma 3 doesn't show around 18:15 UTC on the first day of the Free Weekend (Thursday February 14), we advise you to restart your Steam client. https://youtu.be/o4g_tF7EOk4 The Free Weekend gives access to everything the Arma 3 base game and Apex expansion have to offer. This includes: 50+ weapons, 30+ vehicles, 4 massive terrains with a combined landmass of 450 km2, a singleplayer and co-op campaign, individual showcase scenarios, a tutorial prologue campaign, training courses, a variety of multiplayer game modes (including the recently introduced Warlords mode), and the powerful 3D Scenario Editor. Free Weekend participants will be able to carry over all of their save games and Steam Achievements when they decide to purchase the game. Speaking of which, if you wish to continue playing Arma 3 after the Free Weekend, you will be able to purchase the game at just one third of its original price throughout the duration of the Free Weekend. The Arma 3 Apex Edition, Arma 3 Apex expansion itself, and all other Arma 3 DLC packs, will also be on sale - with big discounts ranging from a solid 20 to a whopping 66 percent.
Fun facts:

Since its initial version 1.0 release in 2013, Arma 3 has received more than 70 free platform updates, and Arma 3 users have played the game for a total of 650+ million hours, and the average playtime per Arma 3 user is more than 150 hours.
Besides its very active player base, Arma 3 also salutes a talented community of content creators, who have already generated a wealth of free content, including the 55,000+ items shared on the Arma 3 Steam Workshop. These items contain additional weapons, vehicles, gear, terrains, missions, multiplayer game modes, and much more - all of which will also be freely accessible to Free Weekend players.

So, clear out your calendars, and get ready to jump into one of PC's must-have military games. And for those 4,500,000+ Arma 3 players who've already enlisted, be sure to seize this opportunity to invite your family and friends for a free tour of your favorite game.

Key Features in Arma 3

Altis & Stratis
Defeat your enemy on a richly detailed, open-world battlefield – stretching over 290 km² of Mediterranean island terrain. From expansive cities to rolling hills, whether steamrolling your tank across the dusty plains, flying a transport helicopter over the dense forests, or waging asymmetric warfare from the rocky hills, the islands of Altis and Stratis are dynamic worlds, which lend themselves to the most varied engagements in gaming.
Weapons & Vehicles
Head into combat on foot, drive armored vehicles, or take to the skies in helicopters and jets. Conduct a combined arms attack over air, land, and sea, with over 20 vehicles to drive and pilot, 40+ weapons to pick from, customizable loadouts with short- and long-distance attachments, and various types of gear to suit your needs on the battlefield. With a massive arsenal at your disposal, Arma 3 moves you into a world of tactical opportunities.
Singleplayer
Follow the story of Ben Kerry, a soldier who gets caught up in a Mediterranean flashpoint, across three gameplay-driven campaign episodes: Survive, Adapt, Win. Immerse yourself in Arma 3’s diverse gameplay by completing the focused showcase scenarios. Run through the competitive firing drills to hone your shooting and movement skills, and complete your training by signing up to Arma 3 Bootcamp, which features SP and MP tutorials, and a dedicated Virtual Reality practice environment.
Multiplayer
Fight online in the massive military sandbox that is Arma 3. Form a squad and team up against your enemy in the official Defend and Seize multiplayer scenarios. Or jump into one of the many popular unofficial game modes developed by the Arma 3 community. Experience a new form of multiplayer in Arma 3 Zeus, where Game Masters have the ability to influence the battlefield of other players in real-time.
Content Creation
Start creating your own experiences with Arma 3’s intuitive scenario editor and powerful modding tools. Enjoy a platform filled with player-created content, ranging from custom weapons and vehicles, to intense singleplayer scenarios and entirely new multiplayer game modes. Share and discover content on the Arma 3 Steam Workshop, which lets you install player-created content with a click of a button.
Revamped Engine

Pushed forward by game-changing innovations, the highly moddable Real Virtuality™ 4 engine powers a new generation of Arma with even more stunning graphics, broad simulation gameplay, and massive sandbox terrains.
