Full SITREP

Bohemia Interactive is hosting a sale on Steam for Arma 3 between May 28th and June 1st (10 AM PDT / 7 PM CEST). Additionally, we're celebrating the six-year anniversary of Arma 3's first premium DLC - Arma 3 Karts - by making it available for free for the duration of the sale. You can simply add the DLC to your Steam library via its store page and it will be yours forever.

The Arma 3 Karts DLC – a small but fun sidestep in our typically military sandbox – adds a 20hp 4-stroke engine go-kart, 5 Time Trials races, plus various assets related to karting, such as a race driver character, a motorsport marshal and starter pistol, and various plastic barriers to build your own race tracks in Arma 3's scenario editor.

Starting its life as an April Fools' joke, Arma 3 Karts is Arma 3's first premium downloadable content (DLC). It was released six years ago in 2014 on the 29th of May, and served as a pilot test of Arma 3's DLC 'content-licensing' technology – a new system designed to prevent a split in our game's multiplayer community between DLC owners and non-owners. After Arma 3 Karts' first million of Czech koruna in proceeds was donated to charity, it maintained its popularity and went on to become the best-selling Arma 3 DLC to date.

Besides the Karts DLC giveaway, these are all deals on offer between May 28th and June 1st:
