Embark Studios announced that a cross-platform Open Beta for its upcoming multiplayer team-based first-person shooter game, THE FINALS, is set to begin tomorrow on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X consoles. It will run until November 5.
The goal of the Open Beta is to stress test the backend infrastructure at a greater scale than earlier tests and obtain feedback on the changes made since then, including for the gamepad and console experience. Embark has added a new map and mode to THE FINALS, as you can read below.
