THE FINALS — buy the Year 1 Deluxe edition as a Steam gift
THE FINALS is a dynamic team-based first-person shooter from Embark Studios whose signature feature is total arena destruction. The game itself is free-to-play, and it's important to grasp this up front: as a Steam gift we deliver not the game but the paid Year 1 Deluxe Edition — a bundle of first-year cosmetics and extras on top of the free base. You place the order, accept the gift, and the content is tied to your account. Below we honestly break down what exactly you get, how delivery works and what to watch for when choosing a lot.
First — about the free base and the paid pack
Anyone can download base THE FINALS for free right in Steam — there's nothing to pay for that, and we don't hide it. The Year 1 Deluxe edition, however, is a separate paid Steam product: a first-year cosmetic content pack that can be gifted. That's exactly what you receive as a gift. This is more honest than selling "the game itself", which is already free: you buy a specific content pack and know precisely what you're paying for.
What THE FINALS is
It's a virtual game show of the future where teams battle in arenas for the prize and the spectacle. The core mechanic is destruction: walls, floors, cover and whole structures can be torn down, collapsed and used to your advantage. Want to punch through a wall and flank from an unexpected angle? Or drop the floor out from under your opponents? Physics and dynamism take center stage here, so every match unfolds differently, and maps look completely unlike their starting state by the end of a fight. Add the vivid game-show presentation, commentators and the frantic scramble for cash on the arena, and you get a shooter where wit matters as much as aim. It's exactly this freedom to break the environment that sets THE FINALS apart from classic team shooters: here the battlefield is as much a tool as the weapon in your hands.
Modes and contestant classes
THE FINALS has several modes: Cashout, Power Shift and team deathmatch, for example, with more added over time, including the larger 8v8 Point Break format and limited-time event modes. Contestants split into Light, Medium and Heavy classes: lights are fast and fragile, heavies are durable and powerful, mediums are the middle ground. By mixing classes and gear across a team, you build your tactics for each map and mode. Keep in mind the mode lineup refreshes with seasons, so the current list is best checked in the game itself.
What the Year 1 Deluxe edition gives
Year 1 Deluxe is a purely cosmetic first-year set: skins, flair and other visual extras for your contestants. An important point we state plainly: this content gives no gameplay advantage. In THE FINALS all paid content is cosmetic and doesn't power up your character — skill and teamwork win, and the edition is only about style and looks. It's best to verify the exact pack contents in the specific lot's description, as they may have been expanded.
Delivery via Steam friends: details
The delivery mechanic is transparent. After the order you get an invite link, or our bot adds itself to your friends. The manual path is this: Steam → Friends → Add a Friend → accept us via the link. Once we're friends, we send the gift, you click "Accept", and the content is added to your account. We don't log into your profile and don't ask for Steam Guard: everything needed you do yourself, and keep Guard on for protection.
Lots and regions: a quick memo
The gift region is tied to a specific lot, and it's easy to determine: look at the lot currency — whatever it's listed in is the region it targets. So take the lot that matches your account region. If in doubt, check your profile region in Steam settings and match it to the lot currency — a mistake becomes nearly impossible, and the gift accepts on the first try.
What if the region is wrong or you already own the content
Both situations resolve with no loss. If the gift region doesn't fit your account, Steam won't let you accept it — then we refund the funds to your balance and you take the correct lot. If you already own the Year 1 Deluxe edition, Steam won't let you accept a duplicate of the same content either: the money returns to your balance. No stuck payments and no lost funds — it's all fair and predictable.
What our storefront gets right
The purchase runs with no sign-ups on third-party services and no extra launchers — just Steam. We don't draw fake discounts or promise unrealistic timing: the invite and gift are sent shortly after payment, but the exact time depends on load, and if something drags on, support is around. Got a valid shop promo code? Enter it in the cart before payment and the real discount counts toward the total. And yes: the game itself is free, so pulling a friend into THE FINALS is easy.
Who'll love THE FINALS
The game is made for anyone who loves fast team gunfights, the chaos of destruction and a constantly shifting battlefield. If you enjoy a map that lives and collapses mid-match, and victory that hinges on wit and coordination rather than memorized timings, this is for you. The Year 1 Deluxe edition layers personal style on top so you stand out on the show's arena. The entry barrier is pleasantly low: download the free base, call your friends and you're already brawling, then gradually master the nuances of classes, gadgets and destruction. It's a great pick for a crew that wants something fresh and spectacular without spending on the game itself — you only pay for cosmetics if you want to add personality.
What else to eye in the catalog
Men of War — for when, after chaotic gunfights, you crave thoughtful military planning and tactics where maneuver decides the day, not reflexes. And a Steam wallet top-up is handy when you want to gift a friend or keep funds on your account and grab content straight from your balance.
