Is Escape From Tarkov on Steam?
Unfortunately, Escape From Tarkov is not currently on Steam, and is only available to purchase through the Escape From Tarkov official website. As the game is currently in a ‘closed’ beta, we could potentially see it migrate to Valve’s platform when the game reaches its full release. As it has been in beta since 2017 though we might still be waiting a while.
