Battlestate Games has announced that the official Escape From Tarkov website will undergo maintenance today, August 21, starting at 11:00 AM BST / 6:00 AM EDT.
According to the studio, the work is expected to last around three hours, though players should be aware that it may be extended if needed. During this time, the official website will not be accessible.
This downtime won’t directly affect gameplay but it does mean that no one will be able to use the official site for things like account management. We guess that everything will be fine with the game whatsoever.
Battlestate’s team hasn’t gone into details on the exact changes being made, but it’s most likely related to exploits that recently appeared. These scheduled maintenance windows are typically used for backend improvements, security updates, and preparing for upcoming content.
