"Following news that Escape from Tarkov is escaping its perpetual beta, the pioneering extraction shooter is also about to make its debut on Steam. Nikita Buyanov, head of the Battlestate Games studio that developed Escape from Tarkov, confirmed on X that the game's Steam page "will be available soon," only teasing that the full details will come later. Buyanov's confirmation comes less than a day after the developer posted a GIF on X of a man spraying steam from an iron. Earlier this month, Buyanov revealed on X that the looter shooter will get its 1.0 release on November 15, 2025,"
"The Steam page for Escape from Tarkov isn't live yet, and with only vague details to go off of, longtime fans already have burning questions. Most importantly, existing players are eager to know if they will have to buy the game again on Steam and how this change will affect the ongoing cheating problem. While we don't have any answers yet, Battlestate Games recently went into damage control mode when it revealed the Unheard Edition of the game that costs $250 and includes a new PvE mode."
Nikita Buyanov confirmed on X that Escape from Tarkov's Steam page will be available soon as the game approaches its 1.0 launch. The 1.0 release date is November 15, 2025, coming more than eight years after the beta began in July 2017. The studio has plans to port the game to consoles. Players are concerned about whether current owners must repurchase on Steam and how the move will affect persistent cheating. Battlestate Games faced backlash over a $250 Unheard Edition; Buyanov later apologized and promised PvE access to Edge of Darkness buyers.
