One of our most anticipated shooters is Embark Studios‘ THE FINALS. We previewed the game previously and explained why it’s one of the most exciting shooters we’ve played in years. This weekend, more players will get to experience it for themselves via an open-beta.
The open beta will begin Thursday, October 25th and run through November 5th. It will be available on all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S). It will feature a free mini-battle-pass for all players that will include 16 permanent unlocks when the full game releases. Here is what players can expect:
