What The Finals is
The Finals is a shooter game developed by Embark Studios and released in 2023. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 5.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The Finals takes place about 75 years in the future, roughly around the year 2100. It is the greatest virtual game show on the planet, with a large, global fan base, and is considered a window to a bigger world outside of the real one - known as the Meatspace. Virtual reality is where most people spend their time, and THE FINALS allows them to join as contestants to play in hyper-realistic arenas and fight for fame, money, and the favor of generous seasonal sponsors, who want exposure to the show's massive audience for their brand and products. The game show has been a target of rogue hacker collective CNS, who have staged multiple takeovers urging viewers to "seek the truth beyond the…
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action. It supports multiplayer for up to 16 players online. Available modes: Co-operative and Multiplayer. There are 50 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
The Finals holds a critic score of 80 out of 100. That places it above 68% of the 3,305 rated shooter games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2023 averaged 76, so it scored 4 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 77, across 293 votes.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 95 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 1,500 hrs, roughly 15.8 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600 processor, 12 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 580. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
The Finals launched on 7 December 2023, within three weeks of Ready or Not, Against the Storm, The Exit 8 and Buckshot Roulette. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Ready or Not, Against the Storm, The Exit 8, Buckshot Roulette.
