Is Escape from Tarkov Down?
When we last reached Escape from Tarkov directly, it answered and refused us — origin returns HTTP 403 bot challenge. An answer is proof the origin was serving traffic, but it measures our access, not the service, so we publish no percentage.

Why there is no uptime figure on this page
The last time we fetched Escape from Tarkov's page directly, the origin answered and turned our client away rather than serving the page. That answer tells us the origin was reachable and responding, but it is a response about our automation, not about whether Escape from Tarkov works for you.
A percentage built from those checks would measure our own access, so we do not publish one. What this page does show is each region's most recent result and Escape from Tarkov's own status feed, which you can weigh yourself.

Reachability by region
Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Escape from Tarkov does
Escape from Tarkov is an online tactical shooter developed by Battlestate Games. Raids, inventory, the flea market and character progression all run server-side, so there is no offline mode for the main game. Players connect through a dedicated launcher and are matched into raids on shared servers, which means a server fault stops play entirely rather than degrading it.
What an outage looks like
Battlestate Games tracks Website, Forum, Authentication, Launcher, Group lobby, Trading, Matchmaking, Friends and msg, and Inventory operations as separate services. Outages rarely take all of them: the launcher can sign you in while matchmaking hangs, trading and the flea market can fail while raids run, or group lobbies break while solo play works. Scheduled patch downtime looks identical from the client.
What to do about it
Check status.escapefromtarkov.com, which lists each service separately and shows current server issues plus messages from the last seven days, so you can tell a patch from a fault. It also carries Battlestate Games' posts. Wipe days and update installs take the servers down on purpose and are announced there, which explains most of the times the game will not load.

How we measure this
- We request Escape from Tarkov's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Escape from Tarkov publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it — and when Escape from Tarkov blocks our checks entirely, we report the vendor's own status directly.
