  "textContent": "We have reached a new report published by NewZoo that reveals the state of the entire gaming ecosystem in 2025 and beyond. In one section of the report, the playtimes of new games released in 2025 are analyzed in detail, revealing a highly compelling picture.\n\n**Escape from Tarkov** has managed to become the **most played new PC game** of 2025, thanks in large part to its transition from Early Access to full release. It has even outperformed industry giants that sold millions of copies and topped the charts, such as **Battlefield 6** and **ARC Raiders**.\n\n## Escape from Tarkov Was the Biggest Extraction Game of 2025\n\nGiven that ARC Raiders has dominated the extraction market for months, it is interesting to see how the current figures have shaped up, but the NewZoo report is quite clear. **Battlestate Games** ' Escape from Tarkov became the most played new PC game of 2025 with a 1.7% market share.\n\nIn contrast, Battlefield 6 and REDSEC remained at 0.8%, while ARC Raiders could only capture a 0.6% share. Moreover, both of these games were released weeks before Tarkov's 1.0 version in November.\n\nThings get even more impressive here.\n\nAccording to NewZoo's data, despite all the ambitious games released last year, Escape from Tarkov became the third most played new game of 2025 across **all platforms** , with a 0.8% playtime share.\n\nMoreover, considering that Tarkov is a PC-exclusive title, this achievement is even more surprising. There is a console version in development, but it could be years before we see it.\n\nLooking at console platforms alone, we see that titles such as Monster Hunter Wilds, Battlefield 6, ARC Raiders, Elden Ring Nightreign, Helldivers 2, and Oblivion Remastered have performed quite well.\n\nIt is worth emphasizing again; although Escape from Tarkov is technically considered a 'new game,' it was actually a title that moved from early access to full release.\n\nIn the vast sea of extraction games, despite some issues emerging within the community and stronger-than-ever rivals threatening the game, Escape from Tarkov continues to maintain its top position.\n\n_For the latest_ _gaming guides_ _and_ _system requirements_ _, you can follow GamingAlly on_ _Instagram_ _,__Twitter_ _and Google News._",
