The eagerly anticipated shooter 'The Finals' by Embark Studios, a team of former Battlefield developers, has officially launched Season 1 and is now available on major platforms such as PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The game, first unveiled in August 2022, strays from traditional shooter genres to offer a novel game show-style competitive experience. Players can vie for not just victories but also fame and sponsorships in this action-packed title.

Despite previous criticisms for using AI voiceovers, the studio clarified that replacing actors is not the ultimate goal. The Finals had a successful open beta in October, with 7.5 million participants, and received positive feedback for its fast-paced gameplay and fully destructible environments. With its official release, Embark aims to continue enhancing player experiences with ongoing updates and surprises.

The Finals is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It differentiates itself from other shooters by combining arcade-style gameplay with a game show format, offering a unique blend of competitive action and entertainment where everything in the environment can be destroyed, adding a strategic layer to the intense gunplay.
