Gamers Criticize Escape from Tarkov Developers — Commission Zeroes Out Holiday Sale Discounts

EFT’s new sale and lingering issues.

Battlestate Games is marking the studio’s October anniversary with a pre-order sale for Escape from Tarkov.

Several editions of EFT are being offered at a 15% discount; this sale round ends on October 18, 2025 at 23:59 Moscow time.

Some members of the community noted that the discount feels modest (past promotions have reached 25%) and that a sizeable commission applies:

• “It’s not even 25%. Sorry, but with that commission you’d need nearly a 25% cut just to break even.”
• “15%? Isn’t that a bit stingy?”
• “15%……” — another user added, “and the commission is 20%.”
