America's Army: Proving Grounds Final Patch Readies the Game for Server Shutdown

America's Army: Proving Grounds, the multiplayer game developed by the US Army, is coming to an end. The game’s servers will shut down on May 5, 2022. However, the game won’t become completely unplayable though. You will still be able to play the title via Private Servers.

The developer has released the final patch for the game today. Patch 3.22.22 readies the game for server shutdown and adds new content, QoL features, and bug fixes. The patch is a must-download for players who want to preserve most of their stats.

All previously locked My Soldier content is now unlocked. The team size cap has been raised to 34 from the previous 12 for FLO maps.
