Press Release
Starting October 26, 2023, Embark Studios is hosting the first cross-platform
Open Beta for THE FINALS, the team-based, free-to-play shooter that pushes
environmental dynamism, destruction, and player freedom to the limits. The test
will run on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam and ends on November 5.
THE FINALS is the ultimate combat entertainment game show where you and
your team fight for fame, riches, and the favor of generous seasonal sponsors, in
hyper-realistic, fully destructible Virtual Arenas inspired by iconic real-world
locations.
The Open Beta introduces the brand new Skyway Stadium arena to the map
rotation, along with an all-new game mode — Bank-It. Additionally, the beta
includes a free BattlePass with 16 exclusive, permanent rewards that players can
unlock and keep for launch. The beta features cross-play and cross-progression
between PC and consoles.
The goal of the Open Beta is to validate improvements and changes made from
earlier testing on PC, stress-test the game’s server and backend infrastructure at
scale, ensure the team is capable to patch and update the game across platforms,
and get feedback on the console and gamepad experience.
To get a sneak peek at the unparalleled chaos and destruction you’ll wreak later
this week in THE FINALS, take a look at the latest trailer, released today here.
