The developers released a roadmap outlining the changes expected in the game in the coming months. It's been 2 months since the release of Escape from Tarkov: Arena, and during this time, the shooter's authors have not shared the results achieved by the game. However, the dissatisfaction among gamers, especially regarding matchmaking balance and the lengthy search for team members, speaks volumes.

By the end of February, the creators aim to address this situation, as detailed in the roadmap. It also highlights other future changes to the shooter.
