A Steam Community Group Announcement has word that America's Army: Proving Grounds is now out of beta, and is officially available on Steam. This entered beta testing over two years ago, and they say over 920,000 player accounts racked up over 7.7 million hours of play since then. Here's word on the game, which is free thanks to this being crowdsourced with contributions from every single taxpayer in the U.S.A.:

“We received great feedback from our fans during the beta and with the help of our community we greatly improved the AA:PG game and experience,” said Daniel Kolenich, Executive Producer for America’s Army. “We've also been blown away by some of the great creations by our fans who used our AA Mission Editor to recreate some of their favorite maps from the franchise and develop new styles of game play that AA players are already loving.”

Bringing the best features of the previous versions to a new America’s Army environment, AA: PG stresses small unit tactical maneuvers and training that resembles the current day Army. America’s Army: Proving Grounds (AA: PG) showcases the Army by emphasizing Army Values, teamwork, training and completing the objectives through gameplay that reflects the Soldier’s Creed.
