# Stay in Tarkov (SPT/Fika) Server Guides (/docs/stay-in-tarkov)

Stay in Tarkov is the community-driven way to play Escape from Tarkov with friends using the SPT framework and the Fika multiplayer mod. SPT replaces Tarkov's official servers with its own server (a .NET application since SPT 4.0) that handles profiles, raids, traders, and progression, while Fika adds peer-to-peer multiplayer so you can raid together. These guides will help you get your XGamingServer Stay in Tarkov server set up and running.
