THE FINALS open beta kicks off on PC and consoles tomorrow

If you haven't heard of THE FINALS, it should definitely be on your radar: it's a new team-based multiplayer first-person shooter that takes place inside of a virtual game show -- and it's made by ex-DICE developers who worked on the Battlefield franchise.

Well, THE FINALS will now enjoy a huge cross-platform Open Beta that kicks off tomorrow (October 26) and runs through until November 5 on the PC (through Steam) and the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Embark Studios has already run some closed betas of THE FINALS, which were held earlier this year. Still, the new open beta will see the introduction of a new map -- Skyway Stadium -- a new playground for THE FINALS players.

Embark has included a new "Bank-It" game mode that will see four teams of three duke it out for coins in a "casual-friendly" combat-focused mode. Whatever team reaches the maximum limit first, or the team with the most cash banked at the end of the round, will win the Bank-It game mode.

• Made by ex-DICE developers (who created the Battlefield franchise)
• Fully destructible environments (and we really do mean EVERYTHING)
• PC + next-gen consoles only
• Amazing graphics + destruction physics (best ever?!)
• 3 vs 3 vs 3 vs 3 gameplay
• NOT a battle royal title
• Totally free-to-play
• Squid Game-style sci-fi bloodsport feel
• Late 2023 release at the earliest
