Overview
- The Finals, an FPS game developed by Embark Studios, has surged on Steam due to its unique gaming experience, especially its destructible environment. It has already surpassed the player counts of games such as GTA 5, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Rust on the platform.
- Despite its server stability issues, the game reached a peak of almost 230,000 players during its open beta testing. The demand was so high that the server reached its capacity limit and encountered some failures.
- The Finals combines fast gunplay, customizable character kits, verticality, and most importantly, destructible environments to provide a unique and innovative shooting experience that stands out in the market.
- The game is currently facing some criticism due to its competitive nature and the high emphasis on team cooperation, which could discourage individual play. The game lacks room for individual accomplishment.
- Within its first 24 hours, the open beta of The Finals shot up to the top 10 of Steam's most-played games, reaching a peak of 143,000 concurrent players. The developers are working to expand the beta capacity to accommodate more players.
