What is The Finals open beta start time? The upcoming free-to-play game from Embark Studios has an open beta starting today, but what time can you start your assault on the combat entertainment game-show? Of course, the environment is purely virtual, but you’ll be able to alter and exploit everything around you to your advantage, if you’re smart.
The Finals previously had a closed playtest between September 29 and October 3, but now the open beta is about to descend and anyone can get involved. For more information on how to join in the FPS game, we’ve got all you need to know.
The Finals open beta start time
The Finals open beta will start on Thursday, October 26, 2023. We expect the open beta start time to be 10AM PST / 1PM EDT / 6PM GMT, as this is when the Steam store refreshes. However, this start time has not yet been officially confirmed by Embark Studios.
Moderators in the game’s Discord server say that there will be no confirmed start time due to not wanting to set expectations for fans of the game, and that they’ll simply have to keep an eye on it. Community manager ‘Dunlewey’ says, “There isn’t [a time], we don’t want to say one, be wrong, and disappoint you all!”
While our estimated time isn’t official, keep an eye on the Steam store, or your platform of choice, as the access to the multiplayer game could begin at any moment throughout October 26.
No access to The Finals open beta yet?
If you’ve signed up to The Finals open beta but haven’t yet received your automated email confirming access to the game, there’s a good reason for that. Since the previous closed beta testing, the developer has a backlog of players who signed up, and the system is working through that backlog. There might be a delay between signing up for the open beta and receiving the email, but the team is aware and confirms that “everyone will get access”.
Alongside the open beta, there will be The Finals Twitch drops, where you can earn rewards just for watching your favorite content creators on the streaming platform. There’s also a host of The Finals open beta rewards, which will carry over to the full release of the game.
