Excitement Builds as ‘The Finals’ Cross-Platform Open Beta Kicks Off Today!

The Finals, Embark Studios’ upcoming free-to-play battle royale style game, got its first cross-play open beta. The game was said to be set in fully destructible arenas, which was revealed in the first trailer at gamescom 2022. And although players have received a few closed betas for the PC, this is the first time the game is opening up for console players and gamers can’t wait to find out what’s in store for them.

Players will fight in teams of 3 and will participate in team-based FPS action. With over a year since the game’s announcement, console players will finally get to dive into the arena and see what the game has to offer in the new open beta.

When will the open beta for The Finals start?

The Finals has finally launched the open beta for players to test the game and its cross-play features. In the new beta, the devs have added a new arena called the Skyway Stadium to the map rotation. Players will get to try out the maps this time while playing against their friends on  their preferred platform. The game’s open beta launches today, October 26, and will continue till November 5th.

The game also brings in a new game mode called Bank-it where players can jump into a casual game of four teams of three players. Players need to compete to collect coins to have the most before the round ends.

Players will also get to try out the other classic game modes that have been spotted during the PC betas. Modes like Unranked Tournaments, Ranked Tournaments, Quick Cash, and Practice Ranges will return for the latest cross-play beta test period.

Another feature of the game that has fans excited about is the fact that it will launch its beta with a Battle Pass. Players who unlock items during the beta will get to use them when the game is finally out.
