The player will be added to your Blocked list.
Press the [Start/Menu] button on your controller to open the menu

Choose Block Player
The player will be added to your Blocked list.
Select the Social icon in the top-right corner of the main menu
Select Recent if you recently played with the player
Select the player you want to block
Choose Block Player
The block is applied immediately and is effective in all game modes of THE FINALS.
You can view all blocked players in your Blocked list in the Social tab.
What happens when you block someone?
After blocking a player:
They cannot send you friend requests
They cannot contact you through in-game social features
You will not receive notifications from them
Blocking helps prevent unwanted communication, but it does not report the player to our moderation system. If the player violated our Code of Conduct, please also submit a player report.
Can I still be matched with them?
Yes. Blocking does not affect matchmaking.
You may still encounter the player in matches, but they will not be able to contact you through any in-game social features.
How do I unblock a player?
Go to the Social tab
Click Blocked
Select the player from the list
Choose Unblock
When should I also report the player?
You should submit a report if the player is:
Harassing or threatening you or others
Using hateful or offensive language
Intentionally sabotaging matches (griefing)
Cheating or exploiting
Blocking only stops communication. Reporting the player also helps us take action and keep the arena a fun and safe place for everyone.

Will the player still be able to contact me through platform social features?
Yes. Blocking a player in THE FINALS only affects the game’s in-game social features. The player may still contact you through your platform’s social systems (such as friend requests, messages, or party invites).
To fully prevent contact, you will also need to block the player on your platform account.
Here is how to do it on your platfrom:
Blocking the player on both the platform and in-game will prevent further communication in most situations.
If you are unable to use the in-game block feature, or if a player continues to harass you despite being blocked, you can contact our support and we will assist you further.
Please include:
The player’s in-game name
The approximate date and time of the incident
A description of what happened
Any screenshots or video clips you have
Providing as much information as possible helps our team investigate the situation more quickly.
