The Delta Force PC Alpha Test kicked off at around Aug 5, 9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT. However, the developers announced on August 30 that the Alpha Test would conclude on September 8, or Sept 7, 8 p.m. EDT / 5 p.m. PDT for the United States.
Gamers had the opportunity to participate in the Alpha Test through several channels:
Additionally, their official Twitter/X account frequently offered Alpha Test codes during special occasions and milestones.
During the pre-alpha test from July 11 - 15, the developers identified several critical errors that disrupted gameplay for the limited group of participants. Consequently, they had to postpone the July Alpha test to address these issues and ensure an optimal experience for players.
Delta Force had initially planned its Alpha Test for July 18, without a specified end date. Fans could try to gain access through the official website by filling out player surveys, requesting access on the official Steam page, or watching content creators on Twitch.tv for Steam keys as Twitch Drops.
The pre-alpha test from July 11 to 15 served as a stress test, allowing a small subset of players early access. Requesting access on all available platforms might have granted early-early access.
The Alpha Test was exclusively for PC, accessible via the game's official client or through Steam. Note that access to one platform did not guarantee access to the other, as cross-progression was not implemented for the alpha test.

Delta Force will not be available on Xbox Game Pass.
