Embark Studios is hosting the first cross-platform Open Beta for The Finals, available for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Steam, starting today until November 5, 2023.

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 quickly 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.

Key Features:

• Truly Dynamic and Destructible Environments — Contestants fight it out in virtual playgrounds based on some of the world’s most iconic places. The arenas are immersive and fully destructible, powered by Embark’s new server-side destruction & movement system that ensures every player experiences the same impact to the world at the same time – whether it’s a piece of furniture blown apart or a whole building collapsing.
• Maximum Player Expression — Deep visual and gameplay customization allows players to build their own unique contestant. From stealthy ninjas defeating opponents with a katana, to cowboys tanking with rocket launchers, every contestant can control who they are and how they play.
• Rely on Your Instincts — Why impose limits to your imagination? In The Finals, if you think something might work, it probably will. Contestants need to rely on their intuition, use the environment to their advantage, and make full use of their bespoke arsenals and abilities to defeat their rivals and complete objectives.
• The World’s Biggest Stage — All of this beautiful, brutal chaos is wrapped up into an over-the-top virtual game show, centered on a high-stakes tournament with eliminations between every high-tempo round. Teams of three will need to work together to advance. Lose, and you can jump right back into a new tournament — win, and you can reach The Finals.

The Finals is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
