For a game that’s been in development since 2012, it was a surprise when Escape from Tarkov finally emerged from early access in November. And now that it’s possible to really escape from Tarkov, someone’s done it and shared the video to prove it.
A streamer who goes by Tigz has been acknowledged by Battlestate Games as the first player to find a way out of Tarkov in this first-person-extraction shooter. In a post captured on Instagram, the devs wrote, “Congratulations to Tigz on being the first to Escape From Tarkov. You survived. But at what cost.”

Tigz also shared the video that demonstrated how he got his character out of Tarkov alive. But if you want to skip ahead to the actual escape, advance the clip to the 43 minute mark.
