Shooter Delta Force was written off early, but now it is storming Steam. Player count breaks records

Delta Force, which many were quick to write off as a failure, is unexpectedly gaining momentum. The free-to-play online shooter from Team Jade studio is not only alive, but is also putting up record numbers.

Yesterday, more than 177 thousand Steam users were in the game concurrently — the best result since launch. Such a surge in interest is tied to a recent update: a story co-op campaign was added to the project, which is a rare treat for free-to-play shooters. According to many, this feature has become the key differentiator for Delta Force against its competitors.

The game will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on August 19, 2025. Judging by current momentum, the console release will only strengthen the project's standing.

However, not everything is smooth sailing. The average rating of the game on Steam is 62%. Users complain about a large number of cheaters and hope that the developers will tackle the issue seriously. So far, Team Jade has not provided official comments, but with the audience growing, ignoring cheaters will become increasingly difficult.
