It has become a norm, every year, Steam receives many more quality projects that make a big splash without requiring too much investment. Last year was the appearance of Stray – a short-lived game with limited investment but so successful that it was on the nomination list for many categories of The Game Awards 2022. And this year, The Finals is The name caught the attention of countless people.
Although it is only in the open testing phase, right now, the game’s server system is almost overloaded because of the large number of logins. As a free FPS game, The Finals is believed by many experts to open a new standard for the eSports industry in the future by combining new ideas and traditional fighting styles. One of them is that gamers have the ability to destroy giant structures and buildings through missiles or physical impacts. In just the first day of launching the test server, The Finals reached the top 10 most played games on Steam, with 143,000 concurrent players at its peak. This made the game’s publisher, Embark Studios, surprised and caught off guard.
Specifically, the beta version had major problems on PS5 and Xbox operating systems due to server problems. It’s the same on Steam. The Finals servers are so full that the login queue feature was added in this version. Embrak Studios itself is also working to expand the capacity of its servers to be able to meet the level of enthusiasm from a large number of players. Just through this we can see that a bright future is waiting for The Finals ahead.
The trial version of the game will last until November 5. As for whether The Finals can maintain its appeal until the official version is released, time still needs to be answered. Remember that also during this period, another blockbuster of the same genre, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, is about to be released and can completely become a formidable counterweight to The Finals.
