Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users have been surprised with a console exclusive stealth release. The Xbox One never had the edge on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in terms of exclusive and console exclusive games, and still doesn’t with the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, but it’s making progress. The Xbox Series consoles have already had the likes of Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5, with games like Starfield, Redfall, Fable, Perfect Dark, The Elder Scrolls 6, Hellblade 2, Avowed, and more on the horizon. The latest exclusive has caught Xbox users by surprise though as its release has come out of nowhere.ย
The new and major stealth release comes courtesy of Bohemia Interactive, who surprised Arma fans with the stealth release of Arma Reforger on PC and Xbox One today. An open-world multiplayer first-person shooter set in the Cold War, the game is being pitched as a sort of appetizer for Arma 4, which was announced today alongside the stealth release.

Arma Reforger is the first step towards Arma 4 and a versatile, creative, fully-moddable platform for the future, offering a glimpse of things to come.
