Escape From Tarkov, the first-person shooter that popularized the extraction genre, is finally coming to Steam, albeit with a catch. Those who already own the game will have to buy it again if they want to launch it through Steam.
In a Steam FAQ that went live alongside the Escape From Tarkov Steam page, developer Battlestate Games explained more details about how the game will work on Steam, what Steam functionality it will support, and whether or not players who already own the game will be able to launch it through Steam.
The short answer is that those who already bought Escape From Tarkov, which until now has only been available directly from Battlestate Games’ own launcher or website, won’t be able to start using the Steam version. Instead, existing owners who want to play on Steam will need to purchase an edition of the game on Steam itself.
