Nexon’s Embark Studios is vrooming onward with its next test for THE FINALS: It’s just announced that its first cross-platform open beta event will run from October 26th to November 5th on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC through Steam. The studio characterizes the game as a team-based F2P shooter focused on “environmental dynamism, destruction, and player freedom.”
“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.”
Everyone is welcome in this beta: The game is free-to-play, and beta signups are open on Steam and the PlayStation and Xbox stores.
