Why Battlestate Games Billed Your Card
Unreviewed registry note: A charge showing as BATTLESTATE *TARKOV on your bank or credit card statement is a digital purchase from Battlestate Games Limited for Battlestate Games Escape from Tarkov Pre-Order & Stash Upgrades. Battlestate Games is a game development studio known for Escape from Tarkov, a tactical multiplayer PC shooter. Because the company distributes the game through its own launcher rather than Steam, transactions are completed directly through escapefromtarkov.com. The descriptor often displays as BATTLESTATE *TARKOV, BATTLESTATE, BATTLESTATE GAMES, or XSOLLA *BATTLESTATE.
Unreviewed registry note: Transactions range between $45 and $250 depending on the pre-order package or digital upgrade selected. Common tiers include the Standard Edition, Left Behind Edition, Prepare for Escape Edition, and the Unheard Edition, as well as the standalone game Escape from Tarkov: Arena. Players also purchase digital stash expansions to store more tactical gear. If you do not play PC games, a family member with access to your card details likely made the purchase.
Unreviewed registry note: Battlestate Games Limited is based in London and routes international payments through merchant processors like Xsolla and European banking partners. Because transactions originate overseas, American financial institutions frequently assess a foreign transaction fee of 1% to 3% or trigger automated fraud alerts. Many card statements display the customer service phone line 1-888-294-8844 directly inside the transaction details.
