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.
