It’s 2020 now, and that means we’re creeping ever closer to the eventual formal release of Escape from Tarkov. Years have passed since the game was first revealed, which means it’s probably time to go over the game’s recommended PC specifications. What are the Escape from Tarkov minimum specifications, and what sort of machine do you need to run the game at recommended settings? That’s what we’re here to discuss.
Escape from Tarkov Minimum PC specifications
Battlestate Games, the developer of Escape from Tarkov, has provided a list of approximate minimum system requirements for the game. Given that it’s still under heavy development, the follow minimum specs may change over time.

This also spells good news for potential console ports, assuming any are on the horizon.
