These changes should ensure that Escape From Tarkov players find matches much quicker than before, with studio head Nikita Buyanov confirming that there are even more improvements to come.

The full release did not go perfectly to plan, and the game was review-bombed after significant server issues at launch.

Earlier this year, Escape From Tarkov received its first collaboration, crossing over with Escape From Duckov, a sign that there's plenty more to come from the extraction shooter.
A new extraction shooter on Steam strongly channels Escape from Tarkov, but with zombies added to the mix.
