Fans can finally stop begging for Arma Reforger PS5 mod support
Mod support is finally coming to PS5 for Arma Reforger, and fans are happy. But the developers are likely even happier that people will stop asking for it.
Today, Arma Reforger announced that mod support will be coming soon to PlayStation 5, and fans are happy that console players will finally be able to experience the full game. Initially released in 2023, this first-person shooter had a major resurgence when it was released on PlayStation 5 a few months ago and introduced crossplay. One month after this new launch, the Steam player count steadily rose from around four thousand average players to an all-time peak of twenty-three thousand. Players are sticking around for Arma Reforger, and with official mod support on PlayStation 5, that likely won’t change anytime soon.

The official social media page for Arma Reforger, Arma Platform, shared the news with a short video clip. The post also confirmed that PS5 players won’t have to wait too long, as the mod support will launch on May 22nd, just about a week from now. The fan reaction has been very positive, even if PC gamers can’t help but poke fun at their console counterparts. One user on Reddit wrote, “Well at least PS5 players can experience the game in full now.” With another adding, “PlayStation fellas can finally get their hands on Halo with the Halo mods on this game.” Aside from mods keeping the game fresh, the developer, Bohemia Interactive, has also introduced regular updates to keep players coming back for more.
Overall, this is great news for fans of Arma Reforger, but if you’ve been paying attention to the community lately, you will probably sense the underlying tone of “alright fine.” In the video posted by Arma Platform, the common question “PS5 mods when” appears in giant text behind the characters, followed by a massive 3D “SOON” crashing down to earth, almost as if to silence the constant badgering. Some of the responses on social media echo this, with one user writing, in all caps, “FINALLY THEY WILL SHUT UP.” Another user asked when Arma 4 (a game that isn’t planned to release until 2027) will come to PS5, prompting the team to react with the classic Michael Scott angry face GIF, jokingly sharing their lack of patience on ridiculous fan requests.
Mods can be a tricky subject, depending on the game. Some, like Arma Reforger and Baldur’s Gate 3, choose to embrace the modding community. However, other studios can be less accepting, with some developers choosing not to release their game on PC specifically to avoid fan mods. In January, Sony infamously struck down a fan mod of Bloodborne that didn’t even change content; it only upped the frame rate to 60 FPS. Hopefully, this mod support for PS5 players will continue to allow Arma Reforger players to enjoy the game in all kinds of new ways for years to come.
