Escape from Tarkov is finally coming to Steam

Escape from Tarkov is finally hitting V1.0 this year, with plans for a worldwide release on November 15th. Part of this launch is going to include a particularly big change, with Escape from Tarkov joining Steam for the first time. 

Since release, Escape from Tarkov players have had to download the game through Battlestate Games' own launcher, with all game purchases handled through the game's official website. Now with the game finally leaving beta, the studio is also bringing the game to Steam, the largest and most popular storefront for PC gaming.

The Escape from Tarkov Steam store listing is not live yet, but Battlestate Games' studio head, Nikita Buyanov, did confirm that the game will release on Steam and will be “available soon”.

It is unclear if those who already own the game will be able to transfer their purchase over to Steam, or if the Steam version will continue to use the Battlestate Games launcher. As with most MMOs, I would expect that the Steam version will also include the launcher that players are already used to.
