Battlestate Games announced an update coming to Escape From Tarkov today, and according to its patch notes, several fixes will be made. The multiplayer first-person shooter first launched in July 2017 and five years later, continues with regular updates. Today, developers said, “We have installed an update containing several technical fixes and changes. The game will not stop; however, on servers undergoing updates, raid time may be reduced to 10 minutes. Please download the update via the launcher.” This is excellent news for players who planned to spend a good portion of today lost in the first-person shooter.
Escape From Tarkov is set in the fictional region of Norvinsk, during a time of war between two private military companies. Players can join matches called “raids,” which allow them to fight other players and bots in a multiplayer world for the chance to win various loot.
Check out the patch notes below for January 31.
