Nu The Finals twee weken verkrijgbaar is en veel mensen de game spelen, worden er ook meer updates voor de titel uitgebracht. Eerder deze week kon je nog lezen over een update die met verschillende quality of life verbeteringen kwam. Nu een update met meer van die verbeteringen en tweaks voor de balans.

Daarnaast richt deze update zich op het verhelpen van issues die crashes zouden kunnen veroorzaken. Ook worden er grote veranderingen aangebracht in het cheat detectiesysteem, waardoor het aantal potjes dat je speelt tegen spelers die cheaten aanzienlijk afneemt.

Verder komt de update nog met een leuke extra in het kader van de feestdagen. Alle details hieronder.
