Is Tarkov Down? How To Check Escape From Tarkov Server Status 
6 July 2023 Update - Battlestate Games are planning to install technical update 0.13.1.0 later today. No downtime or maintenance has been announced, but we would imagine the game will need to come offline for this update to be released. The update arrives at 8AM BST/3AM EDT, so be prepared for downtime of up to four hours. We'll update this page should we get more info. Stay tuned for more.

Original Story Follows - There are various reasons that would take the Escape from Tarkov servers down. They can go offline for server maintenance before a new update gets pushed out, or they might be experiencing some technical issues that won't let you enter the game and enjoy the battle. Apart from this, if your game is not updated or has corrupted files, you will encounter the same issue. 

This can be pretty frustrating as you will not be able to play matches, and if you are wondering whether Escape from Tarkov is down and when its servers will be back online, here is your answer.

Is Escape From Tarkov Down: EFT Server Status

On May 26 in preparation for the installation of patch 0.13.0.5 Battlestate Games brought the game offline.

The installation of this major new update will take approximately 4 hours for the developers to deploy, but they have also warned that server maintenance "may be extended if required".

As you might imagine, the game will not be accessible to players during this period.

How To Check When Escape From Tarkov's Servers Are Working Again?

We recommend you keep an eye on Battlestate Games' and Escape from Tarkov's official Twitter handle.

From here they will normally update the community about any updates that have finished install or any further upcoming maintenance. Likewise, if there are any issues issues with the servers of Escape from Tarkov, you'll likely learn about it here first.

There's also the official Escape From Tarkov Server Status Website, which is also worth checking, but may not be updated as quickly as the social media profiles of the game.
