Add Escape from Tarkov as a Non-Steam Shortcut
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Use Steam’s Add a Non-Steam Game feature to add the Escape from Tarkov launcher or shortcut. This does not turn the game into a Steam purchase or move ownership, account, updates, or anti-cheat support to Steam.
Select the Tarkov launcher shortcut
In Steam, choose Add a Non-Steam Game and select the installed Escape from Tarkov launcher or browse to its shortcut.
Add the library entry
Confirm the shortcut so it appears in the Steam Library.
Use the original launcher for account services
Start the shortcut from Steam if useful, but manage the game account, updates, and support through the original launcher.
