Summary
Embark Studios has apologized to gamers impacted by the delay of Update 3.4 forThe Finalson Xbox. The latest update forThe Finalswas supposed to launch on July 12 for all supported platforms. However, the Xbox community is still waiting for the latest patch to become available.
The Finalsis currently in Season 3, having introduced a variety of new content for players to check out. Since the latest major seasonal update, Embark Studios has released several patches for the game to fix bugs and make balance adjustments. While the previous patches were seemingly implemented acrossThe Finals’ various platforms without significant issues, Update 3.4 has been another story. Unfortunately, Xbox players have been unable to download the latest update, leading to frustration from the game’s community.
These complications have spurred the developer to provide an update on the delay of Update 3.4 for the Xbox version of the game. The situation with theXbox version ofThe Finalswas outlined on the game’s Discord server by Oscar from Embark Studios. According to the message, Embark Studios is aware of the problems implementing the new patch on Xbox and is working with Microsoft to solve the issues that are preventing the release of the latest patch. When updating the game’s Discord community, the developer said, “We’re super sorry for this lengthy delay,” and asked for patience during the situation.
The Finals Dev Comments on How Long It Could Take to Fix the Xbox Update Issues
Unfortunately, the developer did not have very encouraging news for players. They said there was no estimated time for a fix, meaning players could still have to wait a while before Update 3.4 is available on Xbox. In a later Discord message, the developer revealed that the problem involved the publishing tool, which “is currently blocking the update.” In addition, the developer promised to update the game’s community as soon as any new developments occurred.
This delay is doubtlessly disappointing for fans of the game on Xbox. The latest patch made changes toThe Finals’weapons, game modes, and gadgets. For example, the developer reduced the wait times for Terminal Attack and made several alterations to the Bank It mode. Furthermore, several bug fixes were implemented, and party chat in the main menu was added.
It is worth pointing out that the problems with Update 3.4 forThe Finalsappear limited to Xbox, meaning those on PC and PS5 should be able to play the latest patch for the game. Hopefully, the issues in releasing the update for the Xbox version can be fixed soon so that allplayers can enjoyThe Finalsand its latest changes as Embark Studios intended.
