: The Standard Edition typically costs around $50 USD , though regional pricing varies. Risks of "Free" Downloads

: Using modified or "cracked" versions of the game will get your hardware ID banned if you ever try to play the official version.

💡 : If you're on a budget, wait for a seasonal sale to get the Standard Edition at a discount rather than risking your PC with a "free" crack. Patch 0.12.0.5054 - Escape from Tarkov
