When did Escape from Tarkov release on Steam?
Steam lists November 15, 2025, as the game’s release date. Battlestate Games also identified November 15 as the release date for version 1.0 and later confirmed the release. Steam’s listing and Battlestate Games’ official English channel establish the date, but not a precise Steam unlock or server start time.
