The rapidly growing Escape From Tarkov is one of the most unique battle royals we have seen over the last two years.
Its slow-paced methodical movement vastly differs from other titles such as Fortnite or Apex Legends, which is perhaps why it has gained so much popularity.

If you are eager to jump in and try out EFT, you may encounter some issues while doing so. It is not as easy as logging into Steam and purchasing the game; so we'll go over step by step how to download and purchase EFT!
Official Website
PUNISHING - New players will not enjoy how harsh Tarkov is when you die
Unlike other games nowadays, EFT is not available on any of the big game clients such as Steam, Epic Games or Origin. Instead you the game can only be purchased through EFT's official website, which can be found here.
Once you are on their website you will notice a big logo that says "Escape From Tarkov, Pre-Order" so yes the game is still not officially released.
