Escape from Tarkov

Escape From Tarkov has been in beta for what feels like eternity. The looter shooter game first graced our screens back in 2017, with pre-order bundles for the full game - which are required to gain access to the beta - accompanying it. Now, for a limited time only, developer Battlestate Games has decided to shave a few bucks off the price.

From August 3 at 14:01 PT / 17:01 ET / 22:01 BST until August 6 at 13:59 PT / 16:59 ET / 21:59 BST, new and existing players will be able to pre-order or upgrade their existing packages for a cut price. According to the tweet posted to the official Tarkov page, the Standard, Left Behind, and Prepare for Escape editions are all 15% off. The Edge of Darkness Limited Edition, meanwhile, gets an extra snip at 20% off.

For those looking to upgrade their existing packages, there are savings in store for you, too. All pre-order package upgrades come in at a cool 15% off. Players should also note that the "permanent discount for the purchase of several pre-orders as a gift will not be summed with the holiday discounts."

Here's how the prices come out post-savings.

• Standard Edition: $38.25 / €29.74
• Left Behind Edition: $63.75 / €49.29
• Prepare for Escape Edition: $85 / €67.99
• The Edge of Darkness Limited Edition: $112 ($119 if upgrading) / €87.99 (€93.49 if upgrading)

Suffice to say, now is a great time to either jump into Tarkov, or snag those extra pre-order goodies if you've been waiting for prices to drop.

Aaron Down Aaron has been with The Loadout since 2020 - their inaugural venture into the industry. Their writing chops were honed throughout their Digital Marketing MA, which have been utilized to great effect covering the latest PS5 and Xbox news for the best games like Stellar Blade, Honkai Star Rail, and Baldur's Gate 3. Aaron's passion for console gaming was stoked from a young age, having commandeered their dad's PS1 alongside FIFA 98, Toy Story 2: Buzz Light Year to the Rescue, and Resident Evil 2. From there, Aaron spent most of their adolescence flipping between PlayStation and Xbox across the generations, experiencing the peaks and troughs of iconic franchises like Gears of War, Call of Duty, and Assassin's Creed, alongside a slew of AA and indie hits as they grew into adulthood. An enjoyer of the best RPG games, Aaron's favorites from across the years are Kingdom Hearts 2 and Persona 5. Nowadays, when they aren't theorycrafting builds for the upcoming Hades 2, you'll find Aaron running from zombies in Call of Duty MW3, or reliving their Sunday League glory days in FC 24. Rumor has it they're actually three otters in a trench coat, though this has yet to be confirmed. (He/They)
