Season eight of THE FINALS launched shortly after the open qualifiers for The Grand Major 2025 and introduced Smooth Destruction—a significant update to the destruction system, making it more cinematic and authentic than ever before.
Smooth Destruction improves impact destruction from collapsing structures in THE FINALS, allowing them to trigger destructive chain reactions and create new ways to play. This feature was introduced during The Grand Major 2025, and in a Q&A with design director Matt Lowe, Dot Esports asked about the team’s approach regarding timing major updates with esports competitions.
