Are you jumping into The Finals during its beta phase and want to know what to expect? Well, our The Finals beta guide will take you through everything you need to know about it and what you can expect from the maps, modes, and experience while playing the first-person shooter.
Led by former DICE devs, who pioneered Battlefield to a new frontier, with The Finals free to play plans the shooter has a chance to become one of the best FPS games. But, before we get to its full release, The Finals has to make sure everything works and plays well which is what the beta period is for.
The Finals beta date
The Finals beta will begin on June 14, 2023, exclusively for those who sign up and get access on Steam. This beta will only run for one week, ending on June 21, 2023, unlike the previous beta which was two weeks. This second beta includes new weapons, cosmetics, and skins, and a revamped progression system.
Additionally, Embark has included a new quickplay-friendly mode called Quick Cash. This is a 3v3v3 format and is more casual-friendly, with longer matches, faster respawn timers, faster extraction times, and just one vault.
How to sign-up to The Finals beta
You can access The Finals beta by signing up for the playtest on the game’s Steam page and waiting for access to be granted.
Not everyone who signs up will get access to The Finals beta as only a select few who sign up will be granted access via their Steam account. You will know if you get access because you will receive an email and be able to download the beta client via the Steam page for The Finals.
The Finals beta maps
The Finals beta has two maps:
- Seoul, South Korea
- French Riviera, Monaco
Seoul sees players fight amongst the skyscrapers of the city center, while Monaco offers wider and more spread-out firefights as players spend some time on the beach or take a break and relax before returning to the murdering and building destroying. So, each map has a different feel and should give players a taste of how The Finals plays in various scenarios.
The Finals beta modes
The Finals beta on Steam will have both casual play and ranked tournaments for players to compete in. There is also the quickplay-friendly, Quick Cash mode.
In the latter, players will be able to climb leaderboards, as well as compete to perform the best in a match.
Casual play is there for anyone to jump in and just test out the various The Finals weapons and gadgets and get a feel for the objective-based gamemode that is at the heart of the competition.
Is The Finals beta on PS5 and Xbox?
As of right now, there isn’t a beta for The Finals on PS5 or Xbox. PC players only have access via Steam.
The Finals PS5 and The Finals Xbox versions have been announced. However, the game has been received incredibly positively so we expect the console version to be just as good!
That is everything we know about the beta for the Finals with this complete The Finals beta guide. For even more on the game, be sure to keep an eye out as we approach The Finals release date later this year and see it launch properly.
