“Do you have what it takes to reach the finals?” That’s the tagline of Embark Studios’ new fast-paced, destruction focussed FPS – The Finals. Despite only being available through a closed beta, the game is off to a strong start and has attracted interest from top streamers like MoistCr1TiKaL. But there is one question at the forefront of players’ minds: when does The Finals playtest end?
The Finals is a game-show themed first person shooter. It features four teams of three squaring off in virtual arenas that can be destroyed and altered at will. Fans of OG Battlefield games and their impressive destruction mechanics will find similar mayhem in Embark Studios’ new game.
The final release date of The Finals is currently unconfirmed; however, the closed beta playtest is available for two weeks. So, when does The Finals playtest end and how can you play it? Let’s explain.
The Finals Playtest End Date
As mentioned, The Finals playtest is only available for two weeks as part of the closed beta trial.
When does The Finals playtest end? According to the official Discord FAQ, the closed beta playtest will end on Tuesday, 21 March 2023.
Full progress from the beta will not carry over to the full release; however, specific in-game rewards will transfer across.
