The Finals is absolutely free-to-play, and you can jump in with anyone on any of its available systems via cross-platform access.

The Finals is a booming first-person shooter that gets more popular by the day. Based around a reality television show, contestants battle it out to survive and grab some cash. And if you're one of those contestants, you'll be happy to hear that The Finals is a cross-platform title.

Does The Finals support cross-platform play?

The Finals is available as a free-to-play game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as PC via Steam. Those are three largely diverse platforms and communities, but that doesn't mean they have to be separate.

Cross-platform play is indeed supported in The Finals. If you're on PS5, you can play with users that join in via Xbox or Steam. This includes both playing with friends on other systems or against strangers across the world.

Crossplay is the term used for when you play cross-platform. It is enabled by default, but if you turn it off and decide later that you want to speed up matchmaking and broaden your horizons by playing with other platforms, you can re-enable it:

  1. Load into The Finals
  2. Open the Settings
  3. Select the Gameplay menu
  4. Navigate to the Network section
  5. Toggle Crossplay to be on if not already

Does The Finals have cross-progression?

With cross-platform capabilities in The Finals, you're able to take your account with you no matter the system you are on. Cross-progression is available.

If you're a console player and you finally get that gaming PC you were hoping for, you can sign in to your Embark account and have your profile for The Finals with no strings attached.

It works both ways, too. Maybe you're headed on vacation and you can't take your PC with you, but you're bringing your PlayStation or Xbox along? You can just login to your Embark account and pick up right where you left off.
