The short version: three free extraction shooters are on Steam, and they sit far apart on rating and on what they ask of your PC. Arena Breakout: Infinite leads on rating at 74.0%, STALZONE has the lowest hardware floor, and Delta Force is the only one with full controller support. Here is how we sorted them: free to play on Steam, a released Steam build, and the numbers on each store page and in player reviews as of October 4, 2026 (UTC). Not hands-on tested.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arena Breakout: Infinite | Mostly Positive (74.0%), 83,054 reviews | 77.6% | 12 GB RAM | 70 GB | Not listed | Sep 15, 2025 |

How each Steam page describes the risk
The three pages describe different amounts of loss, and that is the main design difference a store listing can show. These are publisher descriptions, not something we verified in play.
- Arena Breakout: Infinite. The page calls it a tactical extraction shooter where every raid is "a gamble between glory and ruin" and where you extract, or "lose it all". It lists 6 maps and more than 75 weapons with over 900 mods, which are publisher claims.
- Delta Force. The page describes operator-based extraction, with looting, bosses and rival squads, and a line that reads "no risk, no reward". It also describes full-scale combined arms warfare as a separate mode.
- STALZONE. The page says you keep your gear and long-term progress, while the loot you find is at risk until you bring it back alive, in a persistent world with factions and no progression wipes.
Hardware and controller support
STALZONE asks the least: 4 GB RAM and 50 GB. Delta Force lists 8 GB RAM and 88 GB, and Arena Breakout: Infinite lists 12 GB RAM and 70 GB, the highest RAM floor of the three. On the recommended tier, Arena Breakout: Infinite and Delta Force list 16 GB RAM, and STALZONE lists 8 GB RAM.
Only Delta Force lists full controller support on Steam. The other two list none. If you play with a controller, that settles it before ratings do.
What the ratings say
Rating and language tell different stories for each game. Arena Breakout: Infinite is 74.0% overall and 77.6% in English. Delta Force is 57.7% overall and 65.5% in English, with Simplified Chinese reviews at 40.5% dragging the all-language figure down. STALZONE is 72.1% overall but 67.7% in English, and English reviews are only 17.0% of its total.
If you read English, the English column is your baseline, and the order stays the same, Arena Breakout: Infinite, then STALZONE, then Delta Force at 77.6%, 67.7% and 65.5%, but the gap between STALZONE and Delta Force narrows from about 14 points to about 2. Delta Force's full breakdown is in our Steam review ranking.
