Arma 3 Beta now available

25 June, 2013 - Nelios

Supporting the development of its upcoming tactical military shooter, Bohemia Interactive has released the anticipated Arma 3 Beta. The Arma 3 Beta expands the game’s diversity by focusing upon heavy firepower and military logistics. Combined with the playable content from the Arma 3 Alpha, the complete package features the 20 km² island of Stratis, 20 weapons, 18 vehicles, 3 factions, 8 showcase missions, 4 multiplayer scenarios, 4 challenges, the scenario editor and modding support.

Jay Crowe, Creative Director on Arma 3, adds:
“The Beta is a big opportunity for us to involve more players in Arma 3's development and is the next step along the road towards our full release. With a variety of new singleplayer and multiplayer scenarios and a whole bunch of new sandbox content, we're looking forward to introducing players to what true combined arms combat really means in Arma 3.”

People who participated in the Arma 3 Alpha will gain access to the Arma 3 Beta by downloading the automatic update on Steam. Those who are new to Arma 3 can purchase the Arma 3 Beta (which includes the full retail game when released) from Steam or https://store.bistudio.com/arma3-editions.

Here they can choose between the regular Arma 3 Beta (34.99 EUR/29.99 GBP/44.99 USD) or the Arma 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (44.99 EUR/39.99 GBP/59.99 USD). Those who would like to sponsor development further, also have the option to purchase the Arma 3 Supporter Edition (69.99 EUR/59.99 GBP/91.99 USD) from https://store.bistudio.com/arma3-supporter-edition. The price of each edition will increase upon launch of the full and final game.

Arma 3 is the latest installment in Bohemia Interactive’s award-winning tactical military shooter series for PC. Set in a massive Mediterranean sandbox of over 290 km², the game will have 40+ weapons, 20+ vehicles, a wide variety of single- and multiplayer gameplay, and limitless options for content creation.

LOL, all of the Lite owners are crying

People who say they had Alpha and don't have Beta probably only had the LITE version. That does not get you access to Beta or the full release.

First I would guess, make sure your Steam settings are correct.

Right click on the ArmA 3 Alpha entry in your library and select "Properties > Updates > Always keep this game up to date".
If the beta update doesn't start downloading (give it a while) then try "Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache".
If neither of those work, try searching for an answer and helping yourself. If all else fails submit a Steam support ticket.

Of course ... if you have the alpha lite version (not paid for) you won't receive the beta.

So how do we make our alpha games into the beta version?

Day 5 and still no steam Beta update for this Alpha player.

Are you trolling, zacharystathakis?
"People who participated in the Arma 3 Alpha will gain access to the Arma 3 Beta by downloading the automatic update on Steam."
Which part of that sentence doesn't make sense? If you have the Alpha, you will receive the beta.

I bought the alpha why do I have to pay for this... When I bought the alpha it said I would have access to this and the full version when they are released!
