The Finals is a distinctive free-to-play team-based FPS featuring environmental destruction, tight gunplay, and a novel setting. As the game continues to build a dedicated player-base and see constant updates, we think it’ll blossom into a successful esports title.
Let’s take a look at The Finals system requirements and specs, so if it sounds like fun, you can figure out if your PC can run it. As an aside, it’s also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Happily, these specs aren’t too taxing. Even if your hardware is a few generations out of date, you’ll still be able to enjoy Scotty and June’s pithy comments as you get wiped by purple team all running heavies with RPGs in relatively high fidelity. However, those are just the recommended specs. The minimum specs are vital, too.
These are very easy specs to meet, which is nice to see as competitive multiplayer FPS games need to be accessible. If you need a 4090 to run it, then you’ll never get enough players to reach a critical audience. Given that the GTX 1050 Ti was released in 2016, the developers have done well to keep accessibility in mind.
Of course, if your PC doesn’t quite match up to these specs, we can help you out with new RAM, better cooling, and a more powerful PSU to keep it all up and running. Those with PCs already suited to the task might consider one of our Xeneon gaming monitors that can improve performance and immersion simultaneously.
We said earlier that The Finals is a free-to-play team-based FPS. This doesn’t really help define it much as there are hundreds of games that fit that genre. So, here’s a more nuanced look at The Finals.
There are three different character classes: Heavy, Medium, and Light. These three have the characteristics that you’d expect from their names: Heavy can take a lot of damage but has slow movement, Light is the opposite, and Medium is somewhere in the middle.
Regardless of the specific mode you’re playing, it boils down to a simple gameplay loop. You must find a vault, unlock it, and deposit it at one of the cashout locations. All this while the other teams are after the same vault, and of course it takes time to deposit, during which another team can steal it.
The most cash deposited by the end of the game decides the winner. However, there are many variables that can make this simple objective more complex. Firstly, the maps are almost entirely destructible, meaning that the map will evolve during the course of the match, forcing the teams to apply different tactics and take alternative routes through the rubble.
Additionally, even though there are three players per team, you don’t have to have a Light, Medium, and Heavy. You can go all Heavies for max destruction, or all Lights for superior manoeuvrability. Or any mix of the three.
You’re probably starting to see how such a simple objective can create a lot of unique situations under all these changeable conditions. So, if The Finals sounds like fun, and you can run it, try it out. If you can’t run it, our main webstore can certainly help with that.
