The Finals has hit 10 million players worldwide, just 15 days after its stealth launch.

“We’re so humbled and excited by the response from the community so far - 10 million players this soon is something we never could have dreamed of,” says executive producer Rob Runesson in a statement alongside the announcement earlier today.

This all follows off the back ofThe Finals patch 1.4.0, bringing the Winter festivities to the shooter with a giant rubber duck on one map. Other features in the latest update include improvements for the game’s anti-cheat efforts (which have been under the microscope of late), as well as some long-awaited nerfs for Heavy builds.

But don’t expect a lengthy roadmap of post-launch content just yet.The Finals isn’t doing a content roadmapbecause Embark Studios wants to focus on promises it can actually deliver, rather than pledging content and then having to backtrack on it later.
