Delta Force has reached a new concurrent player record on Steam, peaking at over 213,500 users. The milestone, recorded shortly following Delta Force's console debut, signals fresh momentum for the free-to-play shooter.
Originally announced as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, the latest multiplayer shooter from TiMi Studio Group launched for PC in late January 2025 before making its way to mobile devices three months later. On August 19, Delta Force also debuted on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Delta Force Planning ‘Major’ Performance Improvements for Consoles
Team Jade details multiple major improvements coming to Delta Force on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 after debuting on consoles earlier this year.
Delta Force Sets New Steam Player Record for the 3rd Time in 3 Months
Several weeks later, the first-person shooter reached another milestone, breaking its concurrent player record on Steam with 213,519 people playing simultaneously via Valve's storefront on September 6. According to data compiled by SteamDB, this is the third time in three months that Delta Force managed to improve its concurrent Steam player record. Most recently, the game peaked at 210,413 simultaneous Steam players on August 25.
What's Driving Delta Force's Player Growth Right Now?
Over the course of this year, an improved all-time concurrent player record usually signaled the release of a major Delta Force update. However, no such thing happened this time around, with the most recent significant content drop materializing back in mid-July 2025, when the game's Season 5 kicked off. The recent popularity surge can instead be attributed to the shooter's console ports, not least because Delta Force supports cross-platform multiplayer between the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Delta Force Season 6 Coming Soon
TiMi Studio Group will be looking to maintain this newfound momentum with regular content updates, the first of which is scheduled for September 23, when Delta Force Season 6 will kick off. Called "War Ablaze," the upcoming season will introduce a new Warfare map Fault, and several additional weapons, including the 7.62mm MK47 assault rifle suitable for wreaking havoc in close-quarters combat. Players looking for a more long-range option also have the.45-70 Lever-Action Rifle to look forward to. Recent leaks have also pointed to the addition of the F-45A Fighter Jet. More details about Season 6 are expected to be officially announced closer to its start.
In related news, the 2025 Delta Force Invitational is scheduled to take place between September 19 and 21. The event will see 12 teams from 8 regions compete for the title of the first-ever Delta Force world champions. September 19 is also the cutoff date for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to claim the Delta Force Immortal Supplies Bundle, which has been available to them since the start of the month.
