How to install Escape from Tarkov on Steam Deck
To get Escape from Tarkov running on your Steam Deck, you're gonna need to take a bit of a detour since it's not available directly on Steam. First, set your Steam Deck to Desktop Mode. Then, download the Battlestate Games Launcher from the official Escape from Tarkov website through a web browser. Install the launcher, then use it to download and install Escape from Tarkov. Finally, add it as a non-Steam game to your Steam library from Desktop Mode, so you can easily access it in Gaming Mode.

Short answer: Can't directly install Escape from Tarkov on Steam Deck cuz it's not on Steam. Gotta use the Battlestate Games Launcher in Desktop Mode, then add it to Steam as a non-Steam game.
Honestly, it's a hassle. Just play something that's actually on Steam. The Deck's meant for that.
