Subscribe to our newsletter Road to Vostok, a "hardcore" single-player survival shooter praised by some as a solo spin on the likes of Escape from Tarkov, launched on Steam in Early Access this week on Tuesday, April 7.
Made and published by Finland-based studio Road to Vostok Ltd.
– which is really solo dev Antti Leionen, who's been at this for four years and who was clearly betting the farm on this title – the game caught fire like dry brush, rocketing to, at the time of writing, seventh place on Steam's global top seller charts.
That puts it above Slay the Spire 2 and close behind Crimson Desert, two of the biggest new games of 2026.Very directly called "single player Tarkov" in a review from Steam user Wedge (and many other reviews), Road to Vostok is a post-apocalyptic shooter set in the border between Finland and Russia
## Editor's Note
We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
