The Finals launches on PS5 today

Contestants! Strap in and get ready to experience the mad destruction of The Finals, launching on PlayStation 5 today.

The Finals is the ultimate virtual combat game show, where you and your team fight for fame, riches, and the favor of generous seasonal sponsors.

This free-to-play, team-based, first-person shooter pits contestants against each other in hyper-realistic, fully destructible Virtual Arenas inspired by iconic real-world locations.

In The Finals, there are no obstacles that can’t be overcome. Run through the storied streets of Monaco, soar across the gaps between the shining skyscrapers of Seoul, and fight for victory with your team in the glitzy casinos of Las Vegas.

Crash through walls and ceilings, destroy anything and everything in sight, and build bridges and barricades in this fast-paced, high-stakes fight for fame and riches on the world’s biggest stage.

Come out on top, reach The Finals, and win the hearts of the viewers.

Here’s what to expect:

Iconic arenas

Fight it out on top of the skyscrapers high above the streets of downtown Seoul, and on the cobblestone streets of old town Monaco, the idyllic city-state on the banks of the French Riviera. You’ll also get to experience Skyway Stadium, an ever-changing playground full of treacherous traversal and strategic vantage points, and Las Vegas, an interconnected maze of interiors that encourage tight team play, and make destruction even more dynamic and impactful.

Build your contestant

The Finals may be a team sport, but you’ll fight for individual glory too — with your own playstyle, gear, and fashion. Build your contestant with a wild combination of looks, accessories, weapons, and gadgets.

Contestants pick from a range of body types, each with their own attributes, abilities, and loadout. Tower above your teammates as a Heavy, and slam through walls and floors. Swing nimbly through the arena to deal devastating sneak attacks as a Light. Or enjoy the balance of a Medium, to support your team while armed to the teeth.

Play your way

Trap and surprise your opposition with a range of dynamic tools scattered throughout the arena. Send exploding canisters of gas and goo through the air, burst through windows, or drop fire from above.

Use moving platforms, pocket walls, ziplines, jump pads, and more to create treacherous and unforgettable moments. Take out your enemies with garbage cans and flowerpots, office chairs, and hospital beds. Only your imagination sets the limits.

Game-altering world events

The arenas always change, cutting off pathways and creating new ones — simultaneously, for all contestants. If that sounds hairy, just wait.

You’ll face unpredictable weather, day-and-night cycles, and sudden World Events that shake the very foundation of the Virtual Arena. Like Orbital Lasers that instantly kill campers (better keep moving, my friends!), Low Gravitythat makes you jump like you’re on the moon, a fun little nightmare we like to call The Dead Go Boom, and more.To experience the unparalleled chaos and destruction of The Finals, take a look at the launch trailer, released today, and make sure to check out the game at PlayStation Store.
