Queues at EFT – New update and hype on Twitch
On December 12th the new update 0.12.12 was released with a new map and a wipe. That led to a new peak of players. However, the update also brought some problems – such as unstable servers and the associated queues.
Also at the end of 2021, new Twitch Drops came, which reward viewers for watching streams with in-game items. This made EFT the biggest game on Twitch and a small Australian streamer the new number 1.
You can also get all editions of Escape from Tarkov 25% cheaper until January 5th. That also favored the rush of players. So now is an ideal time to start with EFT. Or at least to get it and then play when you can.
