War Thunder’s 244th Steam Screenshot Competition is open, and its theme puts teammates in the frame. Every entry must show at least two allied vehicles, and players have through October 9, 2026, to submit. Gaijin’s official Steam announcement details the rules and prizes.
Upload a new screenshot to the War Thunder Steam Community Hub and use #WTscreen244 as the entire title. Six winners will be chosen after submissions close. The three highest-rated community entries will be selected alongside three chosen by judges, and each winner will receive 300 Golden Eagles.
Rules for the 244th contest
- Show at least two allied teammate vehicles.
- Use
#WTscreen244as the title, with no other text. - Submit your own new screenshot. It must not have been published previously or used in another competition, and it must comply with War Thunder’s rules.
- Only raw screenshots captured in the game are accepted. Editing software and visual enhancements such as Nvidia Ansel filters are not allowed. Built-in filters, settings, and replay functionality are permitted.
- An artist may win through popular vote only once per four screenshot competitions.
Rewards will be delivered to winners’ accounts within 14 working days. The previous round closed October 2 after asking players to capture vehicles in active combat, giving the new group-photo brief a very different focus. Gaijin has also announced the 243rd contest’s six winners, split between community votes and judges’ selections.

War Thunder
Developed by Gaijin Entertainment
War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat MMO featuring aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval craft spanning from the early 20th century to the modern era. Players progress through technology trees across multiple nations, unlocking increasingly advanced military vehicles. The game offers three realism tiers for each vehicle type: arcade, realistic, and simulator modes. Originally developed as a flight simulator under the name "World of Planes," the game expanded to include tanks in 2014 and naval forces later, becoming a combined-arms experience. A mobile version was released in 2023.
