The Finals, the new team-based shooter from Embark Studios, has seen great success since its launch on December 7th. The game has garnered lots of hype due to its emphasis on destructible environments. In this article, we will look at all the information you need to know about whether The Finals is available on PS4 and Xbox One.
Is The Finals On Xbox One & PS4?
Unfortunately, The Finals is not on Xbox One and PS4. Embark Studios has confirmed that The Finals is only available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Releasing on aging PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hardware was never part of the plan.
The developer wanted to fully leverage the power of current-gen consoles and gaming PCs to bring The Finals' physics-based destruction and detailed maps to life. Scaling back those features wouldn't have the same impact.

Will The Finals Come on PS4 & Xbox One>
While some games initially launch only on newer hardware but eventually get last-gen ports, that likely won't happen with The Finals. Embark seems focused entirely on current-gen consoles for now.
So those still gaming on PS4 or Xbox One are plain out of luck. There's no way around it - playing The Finals requires upgrading to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or a fast gaming PC.
