"The Finals: Playerbase Plummets by 80% Amid Palworld Hype"

The free-to-play multiplayer FPS game, The Finals, has experienced an 83% drop in its player base on Steam within just a month and a half of its launch, raising concerns about its future. Despite initially attracting over 200,000 active players, the game's player count has dwindled to around 50,000. While the Steam reviews remain mostly positive, some players have expressed dissatisfaction with matchmaking and game modes. The game's developer, Embark Studios, may need to address these issues to stabilize the player base and ensure the game's commercial viability.
