The Finals integrates NVIDIA's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology, which uses AI neural networks to upscale lower-resolution frames in real-time, boosting performance by approximately 2x at 4K with ray tracing enabled.
Details
The Finals launched in December 2023 with NVIDIA DLSS 3 support (AI upscaling + AI frame generation), DLAA (AI-based anti-aliasing), NVIDIA Reflex (latency reduction), and hardware-accelerated ray tracing via RTXGI for dynamic global illumination. The AI upscaling is particularly important for The Finals because its destructible environments require real-time lighting recalculation. In April 2025, Embark added DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation support for RTX 50 Series GPUs. While DLSS is NVIDIA's technology (not developed by Embark), its integration is a deliberate choice to deliver AI-enhanced rendering to players. NVIDIA released dedicated Game Ready Drivers for The Finals' launch.

Other practices by Embark Studios
Creative GenEmbark developed and open-sourced a texture synthesis tool in Rust that generates new textures from example images using a multiresolution stochastic algorithm, enabling artists to create variations from a single source texture.ModerationEmbark integrates with WebPurify, a third-party AI-powered content moderation service, for filtering user-generated text content in their games, as evidenced by their open-source API client library.Data AnalysisEmbark has developed prototype tools that use semantic and visual similarity algorithms to suggest relevant game assets to creators — for example, recognizing that a bottle is semantically similar to a bucket (both containers) or that a dead tree is visually similar to a lamp post.
