Can you transfer progress to Escape from Tarkov Steam version? Yes, and it is easy

Escape from Tarkov is a legend when it comes to extraction shooters. It inspired many other games, let’ look at the recent hit Escape from Duckov, for example. However, until now, the game was not available on Steam, the biggest store on PC, and used its own launcher. We can say a lot about Valve’s platform, but can’t deny the fact that it gathers a lot of players, and many of them are not willing to leave it. Even those who are, often prefer to play on Steam when they have such a chance. So, no wonder many people were glad to hear that Tarkov will finally visit Gabe Newell’s shop. And for those who already played it on a separate launcher we have a good news – progress transfer is possible.
