Escape From Tarkov Gets Twitch Drops, Viewership Numbers Surge To Above 200K

<p dir="ltr">Over the past few years, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/escape-from-tarkov/">Escape From Tarkov</a> has become notorious for its hardcore approach to the competitive shooter genre, a persistent gear-driven game where you lose everything you're carrying when you die. Well, if you've had a run of rotten luck in the trenches of Tarkov, or you're just getting started, there's some good news: you can <a href="https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/169">score some item drops</a> by watching participating streamers on Twitch.</p><p dir="ltr">Thanks to a previous patch, which also reset overall character progression for all players, these items can't be sold on the game's black market. This means you'll have to use the gear yourself, rather than fencing it for what you really want. This is a substantial change from previous Twitch drops, which some players accused of disrupting the game's economy.</p><p dir="ltr">This promotion has caused Tarkov's viewership numbers to balloon on Twitch, with over 240,000 online as of this writing. For comparison, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/fortnite/">Fortnite</a> is mustering a bit more than half of that, at 154,000, despite it being only a few hours after a massive event. At the PC Gaming Show, developer Battlestate Games <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/escape-from-tarkovs-new-map-revealed-127-patch-wil/1100-6478427/">revealed that a new map will be coming soon</a>, as well as a revamped skill system.
