The Finals Update 1.4.0 Patch Makes Balance Changes and Anti-Cheat Improvements
20.12.2023 - 13:21 / ign.com
The Finals has released its beefy 1.4.0 patch, confirming balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, crash fixes and, crucially, anti-cheat detection improvements.
The Finals is a free-to-play competitive first-person shooter made by Embark Studios, which is made up of former Battlefield developers. It’s enjoying big player numbers on Steam, where at the time of publication it was the seventh most-played game. IGN’s The Finals review returned an 8/10. We said: “The Finals is a fresh and exciting take on team based PVP shooters, featuring some of the best environmental destruction in any FPS.”
Not everything has gone down well with fans though, as Embark was criticised for using AI voiceovers in The Finals by myriad voice actors and even other developers. Embark told IGN that "making games without actors isn't an end goal" and claimed it uses a mix of both recorded audio voices and audio generated via AI text to speech tools for its games.
Players were awaiting this latest patch as it helps to combat cheating, which has been a particular problem. Meanwhile, Embark has released a snow version of the Monaco map alongside unique holiday cosmetics.
