One Year Later, The Finals Is Getting Esports, But Nobody Has Invested Yet

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that The Finals has piqued my interest. Having witnessed the ebb and flow of countless gaming trends, I can appreciate the freshness and innovation this title brings to the table.

In December 2023, “The Finals” was secretly released, sparking excitement among its eager audience. For a while, it captured attention. Although its popularity dipped slightly after being free-to-play and live-service shooter, it continues to stand out as innovative and fresh, offering impressive destructive features, engaging gameplay, and a distinctive visual style.

Lately, Embark Studios has shared that an esports event is being developed, and by 2025, a Major with a prize pool of $100,000 will occur. Unfortunately, no organization has stepped forward yet as a sponsor for The Finals, leaving us curious about which competitors will participate.

Who Will Play At The Finals Major?

2025’s Final Major Tournament remains undefined in terms of its layout, timing, and participating organizations. Its specifics, including location and competing teams, remain uncertain at this point.

For the past year, The Finals has managed to maintain a steady fan base.

When considering Steam as a case study, we notice that the game initially attracted 242,000 players upon release, and currently hovers around an average of approximately 14,000. Given it was a brand-new shooter without any prior fanbase when launched, maintaining these numbers on just one platform is quite impressive.

Embark Studios shared a brief sneak peek on social media, hinting at an upcoming tournament with a prize pool of $100,000. However, it might be a few months until this event materializes.
