Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad reported that the Chinese "beta" of Delta Force was played by over 40 million people. In China, it launched on PC earlier than in the rest of the world—on September 26, 2024.

He also noted that compared to these results, the launch of Delta Force in the West was "a bit lackluster."
In China, the tactical shooter has seen tremendous audience growth: in less than two months, the number of registered users almost doubled. In October, Tencent reported reaching the milestone of 25 million registrations.
At that time, the Chinese giant indicated that Delta Force was performing quite well in its home market. It had achieved "several million" DAU (daily active users). Additionally, the game showed a high user retention rate. According to Tencent, this indicates its "evergreen" potential.
Moreover, in the global Steam version, the peak online presence of Delta Force almost reached 119,000 concurrent users, making the game the 20th most popular new release of 2024. Also, for the week ending December 10, the title ranked 22nd on the Steam sales chart. Positioned nearby were World of Warships and the Euro Truck Simulator 2 — Greece expansion.
