After years of waiting, Escape From Tarkov is rapidly approaching the big 1.0 release, and we’ve got all the release date and start time details you need.
First launched as a closed beta in 2017, Escape From Tarkov is now ready for the big 1.0 release, with the game in a finalised state—although this won’t mark the end of new content drops and updates.
If you’re eagerly awaiting Escape From Tarkov’s 1.0 release date, we’ve got all the details, including when exactly we expect the new update to be playable.
When Is Escape From Tarkov 1.0 Coming Out?
Escape From Tarkov’s big 1.0 update is scheduled to be released on Saturday, November 15, after years of waiting.
Launching in closed beta status a whopping eight years ago, back in 2017, Escape From Tarkov has received plenty of updates in the years since, with major milestones being ticked off, but the big 1.0 release will undoubtedly be the biggest of them all.
The 1.0 update will include a story with four endings, while it’s also been confirmed that the game will continue to be supported with new locations and DLC in the future.
It’s an exciting time for Escape From Tarkov players, and we can help you count down the minutes until you can dive in.
