Escape from Tarkov devs attempt to put out fire caused by $250 'pay to win' edition by giving everyone access to an exclusive game mode - but only for 6 months

Escape from Tarkov.

The developer of extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov says that everyone can have access to the controversial new mode that's locked behind a paywall - but only for six months.

Escape from Tarkov is currently embroiled in a drama caused by the game's newly-announced $250 'Unheard Edition'. For that substantial price tag, Unheard Edition offers an enhanced stash, a unique weapon, and more slots on the in-game market. All that's enough for it to be blasted as a 'pay to win' experience, but what really got the community aflame was the introduction of a new offline PvE game mode which would be exclusive to Unheard.
