Even though Escape from Tarkov has been in development for a long time, its official release is getting closer. Recently, Battlestate Games announced that Tarkov will be coming to the Epic Games Store.

During a stream, Battlestate Games head Nikita Buyanov also confirmed that Escape from Tarkov will launch on Steam as well, though he didn’t provide a specific timeline.

Why did we choose the Epic Games Store? Well, because they’re good guys, they treated us really well. They offered us good conditions, and we thought, ‘Why not? Let’s try Epic Games Store first, then we’ll do Steam too.’ For those thinking it won’t come to Steam—it will. Both Escape from Tarkov and Arena will be on Steam.

Escape from Tarkov: Arena is a separate multiplayer shooter based on the mechanics of the original game. It will feature team-based battles and duels on confined maps while retaining Tarkov’s signature elements.

The Epic Games Store release for Escape from Tarkov: Arena is scheduled for April 10, 2025.
