This weekend, excitement rippled through the gaming community when Nikita Buyanov, head of Battlestate Games, teased something intriguing on X/Twitter. He posted an enigmatic gif of an elderly man gleefully pressing the steam button on an iron, leaving many players speculating.

Fast-forward to August 31st, and the suspicions have transformed into confirmation: Escape from Tarkov is officially heading to Steam! Although the game's page isn't live yet on Valve's platform, Buyanov dropped a hint by sharing an image of the Steam logo alongside a listing for Escape from Tarkov, stating, "Yes! The page on Steam will be available soon. All the details later."

This Steam launch isn't just about expanding the game's reach; it will coincide with a major milestone for Battlestate! Mark your calendars – the highly anticipated version 1.0 of this tactical first-person shooter is set to launch on November 15, 2025. Get ready for some serious action!
