THE FINALS Hotfix 7.3.1 Patch Notes

THE FINALS Hotfix 7.3.1 adds a toggle for the BLAST OFF! event pixelation effect, resolves permanent ping bugs, and fixes a PlayStation startup lockout.

Embark Studios has released Hotfix 7.3.1 for THE FINALS, addressing visual effects in a seasonal event and resolving login issues on PlayStation consoles.

Blast Off Event Pixelation Toggle

Disabling Lens Distortion in the Video settings menu now turns off the pixelation effect in the BLAST OFF! event. PlayStation 4 players default this setting to disabled with the update and must re-enable it manually if desired.
