Escape From Tarkov 1.0 launches November 15, 2026, with coverage of development, gameplay, modes, pricing, and related game trailers, reviews, and guides.
Over a quarter-million players were above ground scavenging for loot or hanging out in Speranza at the same time together in Arc Raiders yesterday. That eye-popping number set a new Steam record for concurrent players in the extraction-shooter genre--with PvP features. Spotted by Eurogamer, Arc Raiders peaked with 264,673 players on Valve's platform for the game's launch on October 30, per SteamDB.
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,
