Are The Finals servers down?

The Finals servers are now up and running based on the latest community update from the official Discord server. According to a message from a Community Operator, players should now be able to join matches without issue. However, if you do encounter problems, they’ve recommended restarting your Steam client to implement the recent fixes.

Previously, numerous user posts on X (formerly Twitter) had noted that the problems seemed to persist across all platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. In addition, a Community Operator in The Finals’ Discord server had revealed that the outages were apparently caused by a few ‘unwanted visitors’.

After initially announcing that servers were on the mend, a later update from the same Community Operator revealed that “Steam is struggling again,” meaning the game remained unplayable.

Another update has come in from the game’s Discord server, though it’s not quite the good news everyone has been hoping for. According to the latest announcement, the on-call team is still working on the authentication errors players are experiencing on Steam, and more updates will arrive later on.

If you’re looking for confirmation from the always-trusty Downdetector.com, the site that typically tracks in-game servers surprisingly doesn’t have a dedicated page for The Finals yet. With the game continuing its meteoric rise, though, we expect this to change sooner rather than later. For now, you’ll just have to check the official pages of The Finals for server updates.

How to check if The Finals servers are down?

As mentioned above, you can check if The Finals servers are down by heading to the game’s or Embark Studios‘ official X accounts. You can also get immediate updates by joining The Finals’ official Discord server. Unfortunately, the popular FPS currently doesn’t have a dedicated Downdetector page, so you’ll have to remain patient for now before relying on the oft-useful server-tracking website.
