Escape From Tarkov‘s studio head has confirmed that after eight years of early entry, the sport is finally coming to Steam.
It is wild to consider, however Escape From Tarkov – which launched into early entry two days after Fortnite got here out (and having been playable in closed alpha for round a 12 months earlier than that) – is truly getting a full launch later this 12 months on November 15. The tactical FPS successfully pioneered the extraction shooter style and it is not even out but, beginning improvement again in 2012 (the identical 12 months Star Citizen was introduced). Because it was initially launched, Escape from Tarkov has been unique to its personal launcher, nevertheless, that will not be the case for lengthy as a Steam launch is imminent.

Battlestate Games studio head Nikita Buyanov posted a tweet that reads “Yes! The page on Steam will be available soon. All the details later.” The tweet also came with a screenshot of an Escape From Tarkov Steam page, showing that the studio will be self-publishing it, a few screenshots, a description and not a whole lot else.
Presumably the “soon” in question would be tied to the full launch in November, unless the studio wants to trial it in early access for a little bit. However, what’s on the fans’ minds more is what the situation is going to be with the existing launcher. Players in the replies to Buyanov wanted to know if existing players will be able to migrate to Steam either through a key or at the very least with the ability to translate their account details over to the Steam model in the event that they do have to purchase it once more.
