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.
