The authors of Escape from Tarkov are back with the sixth news release. They decided to recall some events related to the main game and the session shooter EFT Arena.
With the update 0.16.9.0 , Escape from Tarkov: Arena and Escape from Tarkov PvE Zone synchronization was added, and "the overall bot detection system was reworked."
The developers noted that more than 5,000 cheaters have been blocked recently; and reminded about a new offer — the "EFT PvE Zone + EFT Arena" set has gone on sale.
The full version of Escape from Tarkov is expected to be released on November 15, 2025. The release of the game on Steam is planned.
