How to Preload Delta Force

Players can preload Delta Force via Steam, though it is not available on the Epic Games Store. To initiate the preload, visit the Delta Force store page on Steam and click the “Pre-Load Game” button.

Download File Size

The Delta Force PC Open Beta will require 61.2 GB of storage, which aligns with the expected file sizes for contemporary multiplayer shooters. For comparison, the multiplayer aspect of Black Ops 6 is approximately 58 GB (excluding an additional 12 GB for the launcher), while Warzone occupies around 54 GB. However, it’s worth noting that when both games are installed simultaneously, the total space required can be substantial.

As the Open Beta focuses solely on multiplayer gameplay, it will launch at a total of 61.2 GB, although this size may increase in the future as new content is introduced.

What to Do First

Once Delta Force becomes available, your first step should be to explore the Warfare mode. This engaging 64-player battlefield-style experience is perfect for getting comfortable with the game mechanics and controls before attempting the more challenging Operations mode.
