Bohemia Interactive 2025 in review
Let’s take a look back at 2025 and bring together the key highlights and milestones, so you can clearly see how our projects progressed over the past year. From major releases and updates to community moments, here’s a concise overview of what moved the needle and helped shape where we’re headed next.
DayZ
Despite the number of updates being on the lower side in a few years, 2025 was still a record-breaking year for our 12-year-old DayZ. The community also created 38,000 new mods. We hosted 41 livestreams, which is 2.5× more than in previous years. With PS Plus, we welcomed 300k+ new freshies on day one. Across all platforms, we hit a record of 650k+ daily active players. BattleEye also banned 15,000 cheaters, bringing the total to 166,000.
The biggest news of 2025 has to be our development of DayZ Badlands: a desert expansion of DayZ set in the arid, war-torn expanse of Nasdara province. Not only is it a brand new terrain in the DayZ universe, but it will also be the largest official DayZ map. We are dedicating our ever-expanding DayZ team to working on brand new assets tailored to the map. Contrasting the frozen archipelagos of Sakhal, Nasdara’s central survival challenge is the battle against heat, drought and, as the DNA of DayZ demands, other survivors.
New maps call for a new mode of transportation. This time we’re looking into motorbikes, which will mark the first ever two-wheeled transportation in DayZ.
DayZ Badlands is set to come out in 2026 across all platforms. Wishlist it now on Steam and Xbox.
Arma Reforger
2025 was a record-setting year for Arma Reforger. The game surpassed 1.5 million copies sold, players logged over 96 million total hours played, and at its peak, we reached ~226,000 daily active users across all platforms. Over the course of the year, Arma Reforger was played by nearly 2.7 million unique users worldwide, with thousands of new mods added for players to enjoy on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The battle for Kolguyev launched for Arma Reforger players across all platforms. Players could set foot on this harsh volcanic island and experience one of the largest updates to the game to date. In Update 1.6, they could take command in the drastically overhauled Conflict HQC game mode, experience the new Operation Omega singleplayer campaign and Air Support scenario, and gear up with new weapons, equipment, and systems to lead their team to victory.
With a $100,000 prize pool, the Make Arma Not War 2025 modding contest drew more than 200 submissions from creators around the world across three categories, showcasing an incredible range of ideas and talent. Following a thorough judging process, 33 finalists were selected, with winners across all categories officially announced in November.
Arma 3
Even after 12 years, Arma 3 doesn't show any signs of slowing down any time soon. With nearly 2 million unique users logging over 48 million hours in-game, 2025 was another strong year for the revolutionary military simulator sandbox. We released a new platform update, had new CDLC updates, and welcomed over a million new recruits to our community's ranks!
Vigor
We kicked off the year with console crossplay, unifying players across platforms. Season 22: Vigor Meltdown introduced Wardrobe Presets, new Action Figure mementos, and marked our final Season on Nintendo Switch, which allowed the team to focus on delivering more meaningful updates. We also held the 2nd Golden Tommy Awards, celebrating our community’s skill and creativity.
Cosmo Tales
Last year we have announced our brand new game Cosmo Tales!
Cosmo Tales is a brand-new take on space combat! You’re not just speeding through spaceyou’re rewiring it. Shift between alternate versions of reality in an instant; escape ambushes, solve environmental puzzles, or turn the tide of otherwise impossible combat. Every dimension has its own rules, visuals, weapons, enemy interactions, and surprises.
Wishlist Cosmo Tales now on Steam!
Bohemia Incubator
What a year for the Bohemia Incubator! 2025 was a banner year for the Bohemia Incubator team, marked by strategic expansions, high-impact events, and portfolio successes.
Everwind was a key focus for us, with targeted campaigns helping drive nearly 1 million wishlists, followed by a demo launch that stood out at Steam Next Fest, earned strong community feedback, and ranked among the event’s most-played demos.
