Which Escape from Tarkov Edition is for me?
The Escape from Tarkov editions have tons of content, and whichever edition you buy, you’re guaranteed a good start. That being said, if you’re on the fence and not sure how much you’re likely going to play it, then the Standard Edition should be enough. For the players who love extraction shooters and battle royales, it may come down to how much expendable income you have, which will depend on which edition you purchase.
Compare prices of each edition on our store pages below. Select which edition you want by clicking on the “Editions” tab and using the drop-down menu to filter your preferences.
Escape from Tarkov DLC content
If you don’t find what you’re looking for in an edition, you can spend a little more on an expansion with three options available. You can increase your Stash lines, unlock co-op practice modes, and grab some fancy apparel with various outfits and cosmetics for the USEC and BEAR available to purchase.
Ultimately, it comes down to preference. Escape from Tarkov is a brilliant game and even if you only buy the Standard Edition, you can always invest in DLC and expansion content if you enjoy the game.
And that’s why comparing prices on Allkeyshop is key. You can find the right edition on our store pages and save money, giving you the best price and more money to spend on additional content.
