Why now is a great time to get into The Finals, one of the biggest shooters on Steam right now

The Finals.

The Finals took the FPS world by storm last year thanks to it's innovative approach to the genre, and with Season 2 on the way it's the perfect time to join one of 2023's best shooters.

Unlike other more gritty competitors, The Finals is presented as an arena-filling spectator sport, with experimentation and flair encouraged through game show vibes and an almost fully destructible map. Blow holes in walls to get the drop on your opponents, or bring whole buildings crashing down around them and embrace the chaos.

The Finals was developed by a team of Battlefield veterans, and that shines through in the first-class gunplay and non-stop action which is still deeply tactical despite all of the frantic action around you. You'll need to strategize to achieve your main goal of finishing the match with the most money, by grabbing cash and extracting it from the arena while defending cashboxes from opponents.

To achieve your objective you can use a combination of sneaky gadgets, manipulating the environment, and some good old-fashioned gunplay to keep control of key locations. By deploying various classes within your three-person team you'll have access to different tools to shape your own strategy, meaning no two matches of The Finals are the same.

With so many tactical shooters, hero shooters, and battle royales vying for attention, The Finals genuinely offers something new. With innovative destruction requiring exhilarating on-the-fly strategy as the world changes around you, it's not hard to see why The Finals carved up the charts with its opening season. With the upcoming Season 2 promising to increase that chaos still further, now is the perfect moment to get into The Finals.
