THE FINALS 9.7.0 picks up the pace with key improvements, new events, and cross-game rewards

The action never stops with the arrival of Update 9.7.0—a patch dedicated to non-stop movement while introducing performance improvements, bug fixes, and balance adjustments to refine the competitive experience. Furthermore, the team confirms that recent DDoS attacks have been largely mitigated, restoring service stability and ensuring matches run smoothly once again.

A major shift comes to the social system with new rules for Embark ID Display Name, streamlining moderation against toxic behaviour. Names that violated these new guidelines have been automatically reset; players can choose a new name immediately through the settings menu with no cooldown. Additionally, we would like to clarify that the warning message regarding permanent bans was sent by mistake. It was intended only for extreme cases and can be safely ignored.

The Voltage Marauder Set has arrived! This exclusive content can be unlocked in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders using the same Embark ID—a special "thank you" to our players within the Embark ecosystem.

The Store has also been refreshed with the Peak-Form Striker and Slope Slammer cosmetic sets. For those looking for a bit more flair, the Finger Guns emote is now available for anyone who wants to taunt their rivals with style.

The World Tour introduces a high-stakes event: Orbital Breach. This modifier targets players standing still for too long by combining wall-hacks with Orbital lasers, forcing a total rethink of Arena movement. Use it to your advantage but remember: your enemies can do the exact same thing.

With this patch, THE FINALS doubles down on its dynamic and competitive identity. The question is simple: can you adapt when the arena itself demands you never stop moving? More information here.
