Delta Force is a free-to-play military shooter that arrived on PC on December 5, 2024 (as a global open beta that kept player progression), followed by mobile in April 2025 and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in August 2025. The official site organizes it around two core modes: Warfare, a large-scale, Battlefield-style mode with up to 32 players per side (32v32), unlimited respawns and heavy vehicle use, and Operations, a next-generation extraction shooter where losing gear on a failed extraction has real, permanent consequences. Within Operations, the specific extraction format is also referred to as Hazard Operations in official and community material.
The game supports full cross-platform play and continues to receive regular seasonal content, including new operators and map rotations. Because Warfare and Operations play so differently from each other, Delta Force is best understood as two connected shooters sharing one game rather than a single unified mode.
