Same. Keep loading up this "dead game" every night and having a blast. I work a full time job, have 2 young children, I play about 1hr to 1.5hr a day on average (about 9.30 to 11 in the evenings). I finished the battlepass about 2 weeks ago, and I've nearly maxed out the progression collectables. It wasn't even hard, it just took a bit of time and I feel it was prefectly spread out. All those moaning seem to want to full unlock the cosmetics and weapon options within 10 hours of playtime.
I never understood all those youtube videos saying "The game is dying!" and then bringing up the steam chart. The hype is just dying down so only peoples actually interested in The Finals are left. If getting matchmade into a game in less than 2 minutes is "dying" then idk what to say
I agree that the game is not dead, I unlocked the Battle Pass and everything else. I have no reason to grind it every day. I only play for fun until the next season.
Dude my sentiments exactly. How many youtubers went from thumbnails titled "This is the NEXT BIG FPS" to "The Finals is DEAD" within a goddamn week was just pitiful clickbait behavior, and sheeple gobbled it up. Free thought is what's actually dead.
Yep I quit apex after season 15 , the finals it’s much better , I tried apex again and I uninstalled it now ( master / 20bomb / 4k / 5 heirlooms ) , I don’t like it anymore
Thank you!! the game is not dead and devs said they will advertise way more season 2 and let’s not forget that they will add Lore which attracts people no matter what ❤
ottr, a youtuber, has pointed out that season 1 is more like open beta 2. theyre still balancing and changing EVERYTHING, and have spent very little on ads, the only ad i can think of is their presence at the game awards. its very likely in 30 days, when season 2 rolls out, theyre going to start advertising the game pretty well and adding way more stuff with a lighter focus on balancing. of course for the finals devs light focus on balancing probably means a weekly patch that changes like 10 things.
also i went and watched a couple of your other videos, youve got another sub bro, you make good stuff. surprisingly good mic quality for a small channel, which is something i struggled with for a while for some reason.@@GoTTABEFR3SH
w take, once season 2 rolls around and nexon/embark crank the ads with some new content to keep casual players engaged the finals will settle in the 50-80k daily on steam. Would love to see this game be way bigger
Great video, glad that someone finally adressed all these videos. I honestly think that the finals has a bright future ahead and im pretty certain that we will see player counts go up again as soon as they launch season 2.
One thing I heard the developers are treating season 1 like another closed beta and are kind of using it to finish out the balancing And with season 2 they are going to start pushing out adds and weekly content update that aren't just store Refreshes a balances and possibly some Esports.
And bro... keep going ! It took me a year to get the first stage of partner before my channel popped off , so keep going, and it's worth it ! Very very much worth it !
Thank you for the words of encouragement. Not going to lie I never cared about numbers but I did go through a slump where I really didn't think it was worth my time anymore. But out of enjoyment of the process I kept going, sure glad I did.
The last 5-7 years has seen this trend grow. It's like everyone wants to take a negative stance on things so that if they're right, they "win" and if they're wrong, they also "win". This turns into a self fulfilling prophecy of "I told you so's" and echo chamber circle jerking until unrelated people also say "well all these people dislike it, so it must be bad".
another thing too is that this game dropped near/during holiday winter breaks so a lot of ppl played when they were off and got busy again w their lives
This MF is NOT dead - responsive/transparent dev team - weekly minor bug fixes and updates - advertisement rolling out slowly - season two coming soon It’s just taking his first baby steps
It's not dead, but it's only going to bleed players as only the "elite" are left sweating balls every match against each other. There's no draw for new players or things to keep the casual playerbase engaged long-term.
On steam charts, along with The Finals, there's also The Finals Playtest with about equivalent number of players as the main game. Don't know what that is but the game doesn't really seem dead to me either. There's also a theory going around that Embark is purposefully using Season 1 as an extended beta test to tweak the balance of many things in the game. It's speculated that they'll start proper ad campaigns from Season 2 onwards when the game is in a better state than at launch (i.e. without ridiculous aim assist shenanigans, nukes killing people from across the whole map, etc.)
Just saying such a good game and still no eSports tournament or streaming competition because there are no custom lobbies and they are not marketing also so much for the game in season 1
FINALLY I see a video like this come up in my feed. The attention based economy has taken things too far! I also play rocket League + the finals and despite rocket leagues issues rn, it's a great combo
I COULDNT AGREE MORE. you see i was just BURNT on abt every single fps games til finals dropped. i understand people have their own opinions but damn man the game is not even close to “dead” they just got started and i’m here for it. i don’t think people really understand the fundamentals of the game and the uniqueness so it results to them being winey ass people talking abt how “bad” it is. couldn’t agree more with you
I was in the same boat, before the finals dropped I was so down bad for a shooter me and my friend group picked up Apex Legends lol. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this bro, the massive “dead game” train made zero sense to me. Everyone just posting shit to farm views and hopped on the negativity, can’t help but think this didn’t help sustain players either
Even in my experience, The Finals released during the holidays when I was on break from school. SInce classes have started up again, and midterm season is approaching you're gonna have a drop in playercount. I feel like 20-somethings like me are the median age for gamers so. It would make sense that we'd see a stabilization after hype has died down for any new game that comes out, ESPECIALLY since this is free to play.
Rule of thumb: If there are 50+ people on yt making a video about a game being dead/ dying, it's not dead/ dying or there wouldn't be 50 people to make a video about it.
After seeing this video I’m glad this video was recommended to me a person who’s genuinely doing and saying what he thinks rather than letting the public think for him
A little morbid but very true. Wanna hear something even more morbid? Right now there's a tree thats growing the wood that's gonna be your coffin. Just don't know which one it is.... spooky headass lmao
Just started playing the finals and already saw on yt these "dead" videos. So cringe. This game has completely new stuff and obviously people dont know about it yet or dont like it because its very different. I dont think this game is gonna die soon. The playerbase is going to stay for the most part and new players will come and check out the finals.
I lol'd and had to do a double take the first time I saw someone say it was dead while citing a daily player count in the tens of thousands. Also, I haven't seen any advertisements for this game, I learned about it and started playing it because several people I know recommended it to me. Having a player count this high 2 months after release while relying heavily on positive word of mouth is a good sign for this game's longevity. I really think that if it fails at this point it will be because Embark fumbled the bag in some way, not because the game doesn't have staying power.
I figured the game was dead from all the thumbnails I seen saying it died but this video explained everything so well with some good humour too, keep it up bro
Oh my, thanks dude 😭 if you watching those videos about how this game dead is just because they think devs aren't heard any suggestion for balancing the game. The fact that they tried really hard to 'cancel' The Finals existence is purely bold
The devs are certainly doing their best. I feel like almost every balancing update they have done did a good job of actually tuning it rather than gutting it into the ground.
People call DOTA 2 A dead game even though its basically in the top 10 most played on steam at all times. When people say dead game they just mean their 6 friends on steam are not playing it anymore.
If I can find a game regularly, the game isn't dead 😂 wait until the season 2 resurgence. I play without cross play turned on on my PS5 and have no issues
I can get into a Finals game faster than MW3. MW3 I get up to 250 ping, taking 2 min to find… absurd. Finals is fast and smooth. And, they haven’t even promoted it, yet. Pretty sure Season 2 will be something special.
Good vid! I mostly made my video because I've had a lot of frustrations lately seeing the balance patches rolling out that seem like the devs keep trying to avoid the issues plaguing the game's balance rather than just getting them fixed and moving on. The game is also following the exact same trend in player count that Halo Infinite did, which has a company backed by a publisher that is one of the BIGGEST companies on the planet. Steam numbers aren't everyone, but comparing 200 thousand people to the other consoles is going to give you a good idea of the rough trajectory of a game's population just due to simple averages and numbers. All in all I'm rooting for the game, but I there is a point in which you have to stop the bleeding before you've lost too much and so far it hasn't.
the one thing i can tell you is the finals is barely alive in oceania, only can find quick play modes and tournament sometimes at peak times and its usually the same people, i still love the game so i still try and play the game (i have 210 hours)
Awhh I see I know that the Pro RL scene also has trouble with numbers out there as well. Can you queue NA with decent ping? or maybe even queue the MENA region?
Thats rough man. Hoping season 2 brings more players for your region! Otherwise I would try what OP said and switch to NA. You could even see how the asian servers are too. Hopefully ping isn't too bad. Best of luck gamer!
games not dead but needs consistent balancing updates cus rn its a lot like ubisoft with r6 they nerf smth then the other thing gets super strong and then they revert it so it goes on and on
@@toptiertech7291 The Finals as a whole has issues regarding balance, bugs, among other things. Embark I think is smart enough to recognize these faults. Rather than advertise for a game that’s not fully polished, they’re using season 1 to further tighten up the game and better themselves. That way marketing, especially for season 2, can be most effective and player retention will be higher because the quality of the game will be higher.
It’s a unique shooter concept that is constantly getting good updates after good updates. 9/10 times people have been happy with the changes to the game thus far. I’m a player since Closed Beta 1. I’ve banked for a long time for Embark to deliver a great shooter.
Sure, it kind of sucked not being able to find a ranked match, but I get home from work at 9:30pm..... Not to mention, casual is and was always popping, also got some games up to the point of passing out last night in comp so I feel the palword hype is dying.
me and my friends have been playing the finals already locked close to 100 hours but got tired started playing different games as a break wanna hit finals again prob tomorrow
the only reason i’m not playing the finals that much right now is also because i already finished the battlepass, hit max level, and got diamond in comp already, once season 2 drops i’ll be grinding again
Im on burnout too, i started playing satisfactory again. After i finished the battle pass its just once in 3 days or something that i play the finals. Also I am studying for university and I don't have much time anyways.
games start dying when the regulars stop playing, not when the trend hoppers get off. if the game starts at 120k players then stagnates to 30k and hovers around 25k - 35k for months, that game is well alive and breathing, it’s welcome party is just over is all.
@@dylanbarrett6531apex legends never went under 30k concurrent players 😂😂 apex doesn’t struggle to get people watching on twitch. Over the last 4 years Apex hasn’t even gone under 100k concurrent players on steam 😂 no one said Apex was dying because it always had players
I only discovered it because my friend happened to see that it was having a beta back in October maybe. Before never heard of it. Really shows how little they put into Advertising.
I dont get why people immediately say shit about the game dying, its been over a month since the full release and im still having fun even if i get shot hundreds of times, the destruction and gunplay feel amazing and i just love the virtual reality show vibe
100% right, staycation stopped playing it because of apex new season and so did i, i wanted to play more single player games so i did that, but anything multiplayer it was the finals.
Also a lot of popular streamers in gaming come from being pro players, (like tenz in Val and his gf is kyedaye who also got a boost in popularity bc of tenz), and rn the finals doesn't have a pro scene despite being one of the best games for it. So once the game is more developed and pros start to roll in, if there were to be someone really ground breaking for the game, the popularity could easily go back up to it's og player count.
Where did you get that idea? There was a small spike after S2 but it is declined already. Right now 8000 people are playing with a 16k 24h peak. This is bad
@1337Jogi It's hurts me seeing the steam population drop, I still don't have trouble finding games. However the Devs need to quit nerfing shit and start bringing out new maps and game modes. 5 maps for 5 months of play is a little lackluster. I'm still playing thou just because I personally enjoy the game.
@@1337Jogiactually if you don’t look at the damn concurrent players and look at the DAILY players you’ll notice that the game is perfectly fine where it is, it’s averaging around 500k players that log on at any given time in a day. Just cause the peak is 16k that doesn’t mean that only 16k people play the game.
I was surprised to see these claims. At least EU servers are always filled, queuing doesn't take long at all. It's a new game. It had boom at the start, some people continued to play, isn't it what every game does
I wish they could add a few more regions I heard some folks in OCE were having trouble with queue times which is expected of a smaller region. It'd be nice if they could queue with like MENA or something to help out.
Fucking finally mate , thank you for this video, i was so tired of these yappers. You make amazing videos btw, you deserve way more subs. One thing i'd change though is your nickname, i had to look at it 4 times till it seemed more than a key mash.
Watching TH-cam: "The Finals are dead!" "Is the game dead" etc.
Launching the Finals. Quick cash, game found instantly. Oh yeah, 'the dead game'
My thoughts exactly

Dillyooooooo your username makes me smile lmao
Same, I play with my friend for fun even though we unlocked everything.
Same here 😊
I enjoy the game and play it for fun but apex I'm feeling again after new update
I have never do that with other game, but, I play the finals every weekend and I always have a fun time, I don’t know why the people say it’s dead?
Dude my sentiments exactly. How many youtubers went from thumbnails titled "This is the NEXT BIG FPS" to "The Finals is DEAD" within a goddamn week was just pitiful clickbait behavior, and sheeple gobbled it up. Free thought is what's actually dead.
True. The Finals is a very potential game ,and I have a lots of fun in it. Thanks for this video, it speak to my heart.
"Have a Coke and a smile and shut the f*ck up" is the best thing i have heard all month
haha Thanks I stole that saying from an old Richard Prior standup lol
Word. After thousands of hours of Apex, The Finals was a blessing. Lots of fun!
I played apex for a while as a pathfinder never managed over a 1.5 kd thou lol
Yep I quit apex after season 15 , the finals it’s much better , I tried apex again and I uninstalled it now ( master / 20bomb / 4k / 5 heirlooms ) , I don’t like it anymore
Thank you!! the game is not dead and devs said they will advertise way more season 2 and let’s not forget that they will add Lore which attracts people no matter what ❤
I'm VERY interested in the lore and world building.

w take, once season 2 rolls around and nexon/embark crank the ads with some new content to keep casual players engaged the finals will settle in the 50-80k daily on steam. Would love to see this game be way bigger
im predicting huge season 2 market push, kinda too late in the season to farm a bunch of players that aren't gonna finish the battle pass.
they literally said they'd do that in their investor's call last week
The Finals is just something else, it just came around and gave us what we've been looking for, it really refreshed the fps shooter genre for me
Great video, glad that someone finally adressed all these videos. I honestly think that the finals has a bright future ahead and im pretty certain that we will see player counts go up again as soon as they launch season 2.
That's what I'm hoping for as well.

Valid take right here. ✅️
sometimes it feels like the world is a giant daycare
Under a minute wait time isn’t dead.
This aged like milk 😭😭
I really hope this game is the next big thing, it’s so good that is would be a shame to see it die to early.
I agree it's been a while since I actually enjoyed a game
I think as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters. I think it'll be good for a while since nothing else in the space is really quite like it.
this is an underrated chanel bro
Thanks man! It means alot
Great video!! Thanks so much keep going!! :)
Games like splitgate and hyperscape got boring after a day but this game I’ve been playing non stop it just feels nice and different
Splitgate will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ I wanted it to succeed so badddddd
another thing too is that this game dropped near/during holiday winter breaks so a lot of ppl played when they were off and got busy again w their lives
Yep yep I imagine lots of kids were playing while school was out.
Broooooo!!! Let’s goo I am glad you made this video. Thanks for the content man! 💪🏻
Thanks for watching!
This MF is NOT dead
- responsive/transparent dev team
- weekly minor bug fixes and updates
- advertisement rolling out slowly
- season two coming soon
It’s just taking his first baby steps
You're funny buddy that Chinese food thing was hilarious.
I just love this weird game so here's my tax(sub)
btw keep going I will watch your new videos
Awhh thanks man!
I’m actually mad how after like a month everyone started shitting on the game now.
It's not dead, but it's only going to bleed players as only the "elite" are left sweating balls every match against each other. There's no draw for new players or things to keep the casual playerbase engaged long-term.

One of the best fps in a while. Only going up from here for it

this vid is so right and it or another similar video deserves to beat the "THE FINALS is dead" vids so ppl dont think its arually dead, making it die.
I appreciate that homie, thanks for watching
yeah those kinda videos are what kills the game
me and my friends have been playing the finals already locked close to 100 hours but got tired started playing different games as a break wanna hit finals again prob tomorrow
Thank you man appreciate this vid
And I appreciate you watching
Haters love to hate
I would like The Finals to be successful. And you too! Keep up the great Finals content
People are weird like just shutup and let us play haha and thanks man! I appreciate it!
the only reason i’m not playing the finals that much right now is also because i already finished the battlepass, hit max level, and got diamond in comp already, once season 2 drops i’ll be grinding again
What are you playing instead?
Keep up the vids bro, consistency is key there is an algorithm and right now it seems to be givin you the gawk gawk 6 million so take advantage
Im on burnout too, i started playing satisfactory again. After i finished the battle pass its just once in 3 days or something that i play the finals. Also I am studying for university and I don't have much time anyways.
What are you studying?
I still run into people that don't even know about the Finals
Same here my friend
"You're a sheep buddy" got me good. Well said man. I agree on every point.
games start dying when the regulars stop playing, not when the trend hoppers get off. if the game starts at 120k players then stagnates to 30k and hovers around 25k - 35k for months, that game is well alive and breathing, it’s welcome party is just over is all.
I'm getting battlebit flashbacks lmfao "it's not dying"
dies.
Tbh never heard of battlebit
im getting apex legends flashbacks lmfao "its dying"
doesnt die
@@dylanbarrett6531apex legends never went under 30k concurrent players 😂😂 apex doesn’t struggle to get people watching on twitch. Over the last 4 years Apex hasn’t even gone under 100k concurrent players on steam 😂 no one said Apex was dying because it always had players
Great video!!
Thanks!
Man I waited for this game since it's first trailer and this is the first game in my case that was worth the hype I had for it .
I only discovered it because my friend happened to see that it was having a beta back in October maybe. Before never heard of it. Really shows how little they put into Advertising.
I dont get why people immediately say shit about the game dying, its been over a month since the full release and im still having fun even if i get shot hundreds of times, the destruction and gunplay feel amazing and i just love the virtual reality show vibe
The announcers crack me up as well lol
"carnival by kanye west" as the first search is truly relatable
Yo you are so underrated man, love your content. U deserve much more, keep on the grind💪
Thanks my man! That means alot to me, imma keep it pushing for sure
It's just been a steady decline. I check it every night. 17k last night. As low as I've seen it. Im in there as long as you can find lobbies.
17k on a Tuesday night not bad IMO
video tuff asf twin
Thanks slime 🙏
The game just isnt built to be played solo and the boys just arnt on every night. Its still our go to multiplayer shooter
I miss when me and the guys could play every night 🌙
Great video
Thanks Sebastian!
100% right, staycation stopped playing it because of apex new season and so did i, i wanted to play more single player games so i did that, but anything multiplayer it was the finals.
Aye brah Love for making this im gonna drop a video on this as well !!!
So many people have never even heard of the game. I hope they advertise season 2
THANK YOU! So tired of seeing this shit fill up my feed. Keep up the good work.
No thank you for watching
Also a lot of popular streamers in gaming come from being pro players, (like tenz in Val and his gf is kyedaye who also got a boost in popularity bc of tenz), and rn the finals doesn't have a pro scene despite being one of the best games for it. So once the game is more developed and pros start to roll in, if there were to be someone really ground breaking for the game, the popularity could easily go back up to it's og player count.
The game is growing slowly but surely
They just need to keep grinding out updates 😤
Where did you get that idea?
There was a small spike after S2 but it is declined already.
Right now 8000 people are playing with a 16k 24h peak.
This is bad
@1337Jogi It's hurts me seeing the steam population drop, I still don't have trouble finding games. However the Devs need to quit nerfing shit and start bringing out new maps and game modes. 5 maps for 5 months of play is a little lackluster. I'm still playing thou just because I personally enjoy the game.
@@1337Jogiactually if you don’t look at the damn concurrent players and look at the DAILY players you’ll notice that the game is perfectly fine where it is, it’s averaging around 500k players that log on at any given time in a day. Just cause the peak is 16k that doesn’t mean that only 16k people play the game.
Got my sun on positive additude alone
This was the only game I played for basically 3 weeks straight. I and many others just discovered other games still exist.
Me and My friends did the same we no lived it all of December lol
most real take.
I was surprised to see these claims. At least EU servers are always filled, queuing doesn't take long at all. It's a new game. It had boom at the start, some people continued to play, isn't it what every game does
I wish they could add a few more regions I heard some folks in OCE were having trouble with queue times which is expected of a smaller region. It'd be nice if they could queue with like MENA or something to help out.
Fucking finally mate , thank you for this video, i was so tired of these yappers.
You make amazing videos btw, you deserve way more subs.
One thing i'd change though is your nickname, i had to look at it 4 times till it seemed more than a key mash.
Thanks bro! And like my channel name? Lol should I add some spaces? It's my old Xbox 360 gamertag haha
I NEEDED to hear this from someone else
I gotchu bby
