The notice published on August 17, 2026 covers PC, mobile, consoles and economic security. It does not confirm any extension of compensation to 30-day penalties. Recent announcements are collected in the latest video game news.
PC penalties include bans, device blocks and stopped attempts
On PC, G.T.I. Security says it issued 1,265 ten-year bans. The total includes 116 penalties linked to DMA actions, real-time interceptions or freeze actions.
The team also says it targeted 47 cheating tools. It reports blocking 9,338 PC devices for one year, stopping 2,108 attempts and forcibly taking 11,315 players offline.
These figures describe different types of action. They should not be added together to calculate the total number of sanctioned accounts.
Mobile, console and economic-security actions
The mobile section mentions 579 ten-year bans. G.T.I. Security also says it stopped 18,769 real-time cheating attempts.
The console section is shorter, with 17 bans for violations and 115 warnings for cooperating with cheaters.
Fourteen penalties included the confiscation of gains obtained unfairly. The announced policy remains zero tolerance for cheating and rule violations.
Economic security targets mass automated registration, multiple-client connections, auto-farming and auto-extraction. The automatic sale of supplies is also included in this list.
For the previous week, G.T.I. Security announces 275,775 cases handled. The team links this volume to 59,705 benefit confiscations and 216,070 account bans.
No 30-day compensation extension is confirmed
The official notice does not document an extension of compensation to 30-day penalties. This information therefore cannot be presented as a measure announced by G.T.I. Security.
The publication covers penalties, blocks and actions against economic security. It also gives no detailed rule on compensation linked to each suspected elimination.
The full text is available in G.T.I. Security's official Steam announcement. The Delta Force Steam page also provides the game's official listing, while the news section collects other recent announcements.
The notice counts different kinds of action
The notice distinguishes account bans, device blocks and stopped attempts. That separation allows the measures to be compared without confusing their scope. PC contains the most detailed figures. Mobile mainly shows bans and stopped attempts, while console appears in a separate category. The 275,775 cases linked to economic security fall under yet another scope. G.T.I. Security therefore presents several indicators rather than one overall total of sanctioned players.
For players, this distinction prevents a misreading of the report. A blocked device is not automatically a banned account, and a stopped attempt does not represent a confirmed penalty either. The notice confirms no compensation for 30-day penalties. Affected players must therefore wait for a separate official rule before drawing conclusions about their rewards or progression.
Three details are still open
- Will a compensation rule for 30-day penalties be published separately ? Affected players want to know whether a defeat linked to a cheater could create a specific entitlement.
- Will G.T.I. Security provide details about the 275,775 cases handled ? A more detailed breakdown would help distinguish banned accounts, confiscations and other economic measures.
- Will future notices clarify the penalties applied on console ? This clarification would help explain the report's actual scope on that platform.
These questions concern details not covered by the August 17, 2026 notice and are not based on any rumor.
The Delta Force cheating report brings together several levels of penalties. The figures are attributed to G.T.I. Security and do not constitute independent verification. For analysis related to competitive games, also see the esports section.
