Are you buckled in for the wildest ride in shooter games? The Delta Force Technical Test is, I kid you not, LIVE today! Get ready to throw yourself into the frantic extraction and chaotic Warfare—Xbox Insider Playtest is calling your name on Xbox Series X|S right now.
So, the game. What’s the deal? Delta Force isn’t just any free-to-play shooter—it’s like the kingpin of team-based tactics, finally hitting consoles on August 19. If you’ve been around (and who hasn’t, right?), you know this series has been the heartbeat of the genre for a quarter of a century. It’s back like that buddy you haven’t seen in years but still shares your brain waves. There are three main modes: massive PvP madness, this cutting-edge extraction thing called Operations, and a trip down memory lane with Black Hawk Down in PvE.
This game is like three chaotic experiences packed into one wild ride. Imagine you, 31 other players, battling it out in Warfare mode. Or maybe you’re sneaking through next-gen extraction. Honestly, the Black Hawk Down campaign is practically a movie—and you’re starring.
What’s pretty wicked is you use one account for three different worlds. Progress is like that pack of gum everyone wants to share, available across console, PC, and mobile. And yep, cross-play between console and PC is happening. No one gets left out of this party.
All this comes at the delicious price of zero dollars. Yep, three modes, over ten Operators, endless maps, and rewards so heavy you’ll need a backpack to carry them—all free. Mind equals blown.
Wanna dip your toes in? Here’s when to join the craziness:
– Start: Wed, July 16, 6 PM PT (9 PM ET / July 17, 1 AM UTC)
– End: Sat, July 20, 6 PM PT (9 PM ET / July 21, 1 AM UTC)
Signing up is like pie. Get on your Xbox Series X|S and open that Xbox Insider Hub app (yeah, get it from the Store if you haven’t yet). Navigate to Previews > Delta Force BETA, smash that Join button, and let it whisk you away to the Store for the Delta Force Beta download.
Remember, space ain’t infinite. It’s a bit like those Black Friday deals, first come, first served. Also, heads up, only Xbox Series X|S console users in Canada, Mexico, and the US can jump in this time around.
If you trip over any bugs—because, ya know, they’re sneaky—hit “Report a problem.” Long press the home button on your Xbox controller, fly through to Report a problem, and spill all you can in the form about Delta Force Beta for CBT Xbox.
