Escape From Tarkov Teases Imminent Steam Debut Ahead of November 1.0 Release

The developer's tease sets expectations for a store rollout, leaving ownership and pricing details for existing players unresolved.

Overview

  • Nikita Buyanov said on X that the game's Steam page "will be available soon," with fuller information to follow.
  • A teaser image indicates Battlestate will self‑publish on Steam and currently shows placeholder 0.16 screenshots and a trailer.
  • Buyanov previously set Tarkov’s 1.0 release for November 15, 2025, while separate reporting suggests a possible November 11 Steam timing that remains unconfirmed.
  • Longtime owners are asking if they must repurchase on Steam, and the studio has promised guidance on access for existing accounts.
  • After backlash over the $250 Unheard Edition, Buyanov apologized and said the new PvE mode will be available to Edge of Darkness purchasers, and he has flagged plans to bring the game to consoles.
