When does THE FINALS playtest end?

Sooner than we'd like.

THE FINALS, Embark Studios’ upcoming shooter with a heavy focus on destruction physics in the vein of Red Faction, is currently in its open beta. It has so far received strong reviews from players as the devs utilize feedback to further polish the game before its release.

The game is styled after a game show, allowing players to play as one of three classes: Heavy, Medium, and Light. Each class comes with its own set of weapons and abilities, which players will use as they attempt to secure cash boxes and escort them to cashout locations.

THE FINALS‘ third beta began on Oct. 26. Similarly to the second beta phase, which ran in June, it’s not planned to stay around for very long. On the other side, the wait seems to be almost over before seeing the game officially release, as it’s planned for this year.

The third beta of THE FINALS will conclude on Nov. 5, which means if you’re reading this around the time of writing, you can still hop in by requesting access on the game’s Steam page or by downloading from the Microsoft or PlayStation stores.

Though THE FINALS still remains unannounced, games tend to use such playtesting opportunities as a way to get a lot of content about the game and to gather tons of data and feedback to polish the title before the 1.0 release—not to mention a chance to stress-test the servers and the backend.

So if you think you have what it takes to reach the finals, you will more than likely have a chance to do just that later down the line, when and if the game gets closer to its eventual release date.
