There has been a lot of confusion among Steam users today due to the mysterious appearance of Escape From Tarkov on the Valve digital distribution platform.
Unlike what usually happens, it is not a low-end video game that uses the same title as the shooter to attract users. The product that landed on Steam in the afternoon is, at least in appearance, the real Escape From Tarkov: the developer marked in the description is Battlestate Games and media files include official screenshots and trailers.
Although the appearance suggests that it is the popular extraction shooter, the reality is that everything is the result of an attempt to deceive users well orchestrated by some malicious person, who hasn’t thought of every single detail. In fact, whoever devised this ruse forgot to point out that the game is still in phase Beta (and should therefore be included in the Early Access titles), not counting i laughable minimum system requirementswhich suggest to mount a 1GB video card in order to start the product.
For those who still have some doubts, the developers themselves have confirmed that there is no version of Escape From Tarkov for sale on Steam and that it is a fake. While we are writing this news, the product has been obscured by searches but is still present in the Steam database.
Do you know why the official Escape From Tarkov Twitch channel was banned in early 2023?
