One of the worst things for a primary console player is to see exciting gameplay and then be met by the “only for PC” label right afterwards. As a primary console player, this problem occurs often, and each time the blow doesn’t land softly. I’ve had my eyes on Delta Force Boosting since Team Jade announced it in 2024. The focus on providing fans with three separate game modes that embody everything commonly found in the FPS genre was intriguing.
Still, I instantly felt FOMO the moment it was revealed as a free-to-play, PC exclusive. However, Team Jade made the surprising announcement that Delta Force would be coming to consoles in Q1 2025, with all the bells and whistles from the full release (not early access or beta). When that revelation occurred, I knew I had to jump in and see what all the commotion behind the ‘free Battlefield’ title was about. When I was given a chance to get behind the helmet of one of the operators found in Delta Force on console early, I gladly enlisted for service.
Delta Force’s extensive history as a gaming franchise is well explained in CGMagazine’s previous PC preview, and it’s safe to say the franchise matters. Impressive gameplay that players wouldn’t believe is free, chaotic game modes, and a single player campaign stapled to the entire experience portraying a real-life famous historical moment, Black Hawk Down (which is known as in textbooks as the Battle of Mogadishu, but based on the 2001 film of the same name).
First things first, if fans aren’t familiar with hero shooters, Delta Force totes gameplay that’s reminiscent of the genre, but it plays more like the fast-paced FPS titles that don’t slot into that category. Think of Delta Force as a fine-tuned, big release experience, but without having a price tag to start with, so all the risk is held by the developer and publisher. I’m happy to report all of Team Jade’s efforts have brought fans a solid console port.
Although it was a preview build I cut my teeth on for console, I tried the initial experience for PC afterwards to check out what the premium marketplace looks like, and I noticed the free-to-play reminders were completely MIA from cheap Delta Force Boosting menus. Not only does Team Jade care about their title, but they also believe in it.
