Delta Force's all-time peak on Steam is higher than Battlefield 2042

According to the reputed player count website Steam DB, Delta Force has achieved a new milestone, surpassing Battlefield 2042's record with a peak of 118,964 players on the Steam Platform. This success can be attributed to its free-to-play live-service model, allowing players to join in without an initial game purchase.

Battlefield 2042 is a paid title with a standard price of approximately $53, limiting its accessibility to gamers who may not be able to afford it at full price.

Delta Force is similar to Battlefield 2042 in terms of modes and gameplay. It features three game modes, a single-player campaign, Havoc Warfare Multiplayer (similar to Warmode from BF), and an extra Tactical Turmoil mode which delivers a thrilling extraction shooter experience.

Battlefield has been struggling to retain its player base due to a lack of content and increasing competition from free-to-play titles.

Being free-to-play doesn't compromise Delta Force's visual quality or gameplay experience. Instead, it offers seamless gameplay with crisp, engaging visuals. The game's consistent developer support is also a major factor in its success, setting it apart from titles like Battlefield and EA which often lack this level of dedication.

Battlefield 2042 fails to maintain its glory as a decade-long franchise as some of the previous BF titles have a similar all-time peak player count on Steam. Battlefield 5, which was released in 2020, has a peak count of 116,104 which is still greater than its successor.
