Escape from Tarkov: Arena offers free-to-play weekend

Battlestate Games has announced a free-to-play weekend for Escape from Tarkov: Arena, available on PC via the official launcher until September 27. During this period, players can access all game modes. Any progress made during the event will be saved if the title is purchased later.

In conjunction with the free weekend, the developer is offering discounts of up to 20% on various editions and tactical maps through October 4. The promotion also includes Twitch Drops for viewers watching the game's category on Twitch, as well as community tournaments and official broadcasts.

The event follows the recent launch of Season 3, which introduced significant changes such as a rework of the 5v5 BlastGang mode. This update replaced traditional classes with an in-match economy system where players purchase equipment between rounds. Season 3 also features a new Battle Pass and updated progression systems.
