The Finals Season 5
The Finals Season 5 – explosive!

Get ready for explosive action in a brand-new arena as Season 5 of THE FINALS plays out!

Embark Studios is launching Season 5 of THE FINALS, their free-to-play team-based shooter, and it’s bringing a wave of exciting new content and features. Not that we’ve been short of content in previous seasons…

Journey to the Mountain Town of Bernal

Season 5 transports players to the picturesque town of Bernal, nestled in the shadow of the Peña de Bernal, one of the world’s largest monoliths. This vibrant arena features historic cobblestone streets, a colourful colonial plaza, and a unique blend of architectural styles.

But don’t be fooled by its beauty – Bernal is ready to be reshaped by the explosive action of THE FINALS. Leap across rooftops, discover hidden pathways, and utilise the game’s signature destructible environments to create your own paths and vantage points.

New Weapons and Gadgets to Master

Season 5 introduces a range of new weapons and gadgets to enhance the combat experience:  

  • ShAK-12: A powerful heavy rifle that delivers devastating stopping power with its two-bullet-per-shot capability.
  • Cerberus 12GA: A triple-barrel shotgun for the Medium class, equipped with incendiary shells that can ignite both enemies and the environment.
  • Gravity Vortex: A deployable gadget for the Light class that creates a singularity, pulling players, objects, and objectives towards its center.    
  • Lockbolt Launcher: A Heavy gadget that fires an anchor, tethering players, objectives, or items and disrupting their movement.    

Social Clubs and Sponsors

Connect with other players in new ways with the introduction of Clubs, a social system inspired by real-world sports teams. Join or create a club, complete Club Contracts to earn XP and fans, and utilise Team-Up Requests to find teammates for your favourite game modes.  

Season 5 also welcomes back the fan-favourite sponsor ISEUL-T, alongside two new sponsors, DISSUN and VAIYA, each with their own unique style and rewards.  

Enhanced Performance and PlayStation 4 Launch

Experience smoother gameplay with the new 120Hz mode on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X, delivering a faster and more responsive experience. And for the first time, THE FINALS is available on PlayStation 4, expanding the game’s reach to a wider audience.  

A Year of Explosive Action

Since its launch last year, THE FINALS has redefined the competitive shooter landscape with its dynamic environments, team-based gameplay, and high-stakes action. As we noted in our review, “With time, I suspect THE FINALS will blossom into an upper echelon first-person shooter.” Season 5 continues this evolution, adding new layers of excitement and expanding the possibilities for players to create their own unique experiences.

THE FINALS is available for free on PC via Steam, on PC cloud streaming via NVIDIA GeForce Now, on PlayStation 4 and 5, and on Xbox Series X|S (here’s the Xbox Store link for downloading).

Join the competition, master the new map and gadgets, and experience the thrill of THE FINALS – Season 5!

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
