The best thing about events like The Game Awards are the surprises our editors have in store for us. Embark Studios uses the light of the Jeff Keighley Show to end 2023 with another drop of shade. Finals is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (via Steam). We have already been able to play it.
If you don’t see it yet, don’t worry: The launch is carried out by regions on December 8. Remember that the shooter is released in the free-to-play format, that is, it is completely free to play. Inside, you’ll find microtransactions that allow the team to monetize this, but they’re all related to cosmetic items. Both ranking up and unlocking gear can only be done with the currency you earn playing games.

The finale begins with Season 1, with Las Vegas as the main theme. The maps we’ve already seen in beta will be accompanied by an unprecedented city-influenced environment. Yes, you can fight your way through the huge rows of slot machines or dress up as Elvis thanks to the rewards of your first battle pass.
“We launched Embark to redefine how video games are made and what they become. “Final” is our first release and a good demonstration of this vision,” explains Gustav Tilebi, creative director, in a press release. “The Finals isn’t just another battle royale, war sim, or tactical shooter: there are tons of them. It’s a whole new take on shooters. It’s been amazing to see the community response over the last year of testing. Now that the game is published, we are fully focused on providing our community with a great experience with many surprises.” In our opinion, it has more than demonstrated potential to establish itself in the current scene.
