The Finals is the latest FPS title by Embark Studios and is a little different than other entries in the genre. You are in a virtual game show where you compete for fame and money, and bring generous sponsors for your side. It is a team-based knockout system where you and your side fight it out to reach the top.
In The Finals, you can destroy everything. And yes, we do mean everything. The maps in the game are in real-life locations with dynamic timing and seasons. This is an arcade-style game that took inspiration from arena-like mechanics from Gladiator, The Hunger Games, and so on.
If you are into this and want to know more about this upcoming game, this article is for you.
The Finals: Exploring cost, platforms, release date, and more
Cost and platforms
The Finals is a free-to-play game that you can save in your Steam library already for the closed beta. It will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and will not be coming to older-gen consoles like PS4 and Xbox One. The press release from Embark Studios does not provide any other information on probable platforms, or if it will come to PS4 or Xbox One post-release.
Probable release date
Embark Studios is yet to confirm the release date of The Finals. As mentioned earlier, the game’s beta is available on Steam, and many have already started playing it. But for the official release, there is no confirmation.
You can expect a release in 2023 itself, probably during Q2. It is unlikely that the game will release in Q1, as the beta just dropped in March 2023. The title is still in its testing phase, thus it can take a considerable amount time of time to be released.
If you want to play the beta for now, just head over to Steam. You can even send your feedback to the developers, which will help them to make the game better for release.

The Finals: Concluding thoughts

Just use the “Request Access” option from the game page. Keep an eye out for the email from the developers, but as it is with every beta, there is no guarantee that you will be able to play it.
