The Finals will continue to offer support for SteamOS, despite the obstacles that have been put in place

Embark Studios has confirmed the implementation of a kernel-level anti-cheat system for its competitive title, The Finals.

Embark Studios has confirmed the implementation of a kernel-level anti-cheat system for its competitive title, The Finals. This measure is presented as a response to the growing sophistication of cheats, which use kernel drivers to manipulate game memory, making them difficult to detect by conventional anti-cheat systems. According to the developers, this technology is essential to ensure the integrity of the game in the future of competitive multiplayer gaming.

Steam has had issues maintaining that support

Despite the adoption of this new security measure, Embark Studios has assured that it will not abandon support for platforms like SteamOS, Proton, Wine, and Steam Deck. In a recent update published on Steam and on their social media, the developers emphasized their commitment to maintaining compatibility with these operating systems, despite acknowledging that they are not the main platform for The Finals.

Since the arrival of Windows 10 at the end of its life cycle, many users are considering alternatives like SteamOS and other Linux distributions, which benefits gamers looking for competitive options. The recent history of other titles, such as Apex Legends, which have discontinued their support for Linux, raises doubts about the future of The Finals in this area. However, the collaboration of Embark Studios with CodeWeavers to conduct quality testing on Steam Deck indicates a significant effort to minimize technical issues on these platforms.

Currently, The Finals is in its seventh season since its launch in 2023, which shows a good reception among the gaming community. Although the future remains uncertain, Embark Studios’ ongoing commitment to including Linux players is a positive development in the gaming industry.

The second season of The Finals arrives, promising us a crazy new game mode

The Finals is going to receive its second season in just a couple of days, promising additions to the classes and an absolutely insane new mode.

The Finals promised to be a revolution in online shooters and it has been. Working very well, with a solid player base, they continue to update and improve aspects of the game after its first season. Because its second season is coming very soon, with some very interesting novelties.

With a hacker theme, since The Finals show has been hacked by a group from CNS, this new season will introduce many new elements. But if one stands out above the others, it is the inclusion of a 5 vs. 5 mode. With two teams of players having to control a platform to score points, this new mode has many similarities to the classic King of the Hill. Except that here the hill moves and, being a battle between two teams, we will be allowed to switch between classes on each respawn.

In addition, the game will include the usual things of a new expansion. With new weapons and specialized abilities for each class, weapons available for all of them, and the inclusion of the possibility to play private matches, it seems that The Finals is not going to stop evolving in the short term.

The Finals season 2 will be released on March 14th for PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5.

This is the number of players who are playing The Finals, and it’s incredible

Embark Studios, the studio behind the shooter The Finals, has revealed the new number of players playing the game, and the number is absolutely incredible.

Releasing a shooter in today’s times is a risk that requires a lot of calculations. Creating something new enough to attract the audience, but familiar enough to make them stay, is really difficult. Almost no one achieves it. Almost everyone who does it are already established studios that build upon well-established formulas that have cost millions and have gone through a very visible semi-public iteration process. That’s why it’s surprising when someone manages to do it seemingly from scratch, like The Finals.

Because numbers don’t lie. In less than a month since its launch, The Finals has already surpassed ten million players worldwide. This has been confirmed by its developer, Embark Studios, who have achieved this milestone just a couple of weeks after releasing the final version of the game during The Game Awards.

There are many reasons for having succeeded in this way. To begin with, it has had a constant exposure throughout the year with successive betas that have allowed the public to become familiar with it. The marketing campaigns have been measured and very effective. But besides, the game is very fun, with a different touch compared to the competition, by betting on the dynamism and destructibility of the scenarios to offer a game that is fun both when we play competitively and in a more casual way.

All this helps that the team is very involved in continuing with its development. According to The Finals’ executive producer, Rob Runesson, “we will continue to improve and expand the experience, with the guarantee that we will surprise our community over the next few years.” Something that gives confidence that this will be just the first record that the game will surpass.

The Finals is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. The game can be played completely for free, with in-game microtransactions and battle pass included.

“The Finals” presents its final version at the Games Awards… and its release date

The Finals presents its final version at the Games Awards… and its release date, accompanied by information about its release

The throne of online shooters is one everyone aspires to. Fortnite is the king, Call of Duty is the emperor, and Destiny is that unruly prince with followers as faithful as they are incomprehensible. This makes challenging their crowns extremely complex. They are well-established, with a very defined audience, and competing with them is a challenge few can meet. However, Embark Studios have decided that if anyone can do it, it’s precisely them.

Embark Studios, a subsidiary of Nexon comprised of former Battlefield developers, has launched their first game, The Finals, following The Games Awards conference. It’s a hero shooter that just debuted its first season and promises something unprecedented in gaming: complete destructibility of the environment.

In development since 2019 and with several open betas, the game has left a strong impression on everyone who has had the chance to play it, ourselves included. With fast-paced, squad-based action where players choose from different character classes with various equipment options, the game perfectly blends chaos, tactics, and fun. It achieves something rarely seen in other online shooters: being enjoyable even when on the losing side.

Set within a sort of televised program where we form part of a team of three aiming to steal the most money possible from a series of targets while three other teams attempt the same, the game is brimming with personality. Inspired by classics like The Fugitive, as well as more modern works like Squid Game, The Hunger Games, or grand spectacles like Formula 1 or Eurovision, everything in The Finals carries that sense of urgency, spectacle, and, let’s not deceive ourselves, a charmingly kitschy touch. It’s what makes it absolutely fascinating.

The Finals is available right now for free on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam. So, if you’re on the lookout for a new shooter to dedicate your hours to, Embark Studios has crafted plenty of buildings to demolish and safes to loot just for you.
