How to change gender in The Finals

There’s no direct gender option in The Finals. Instead, you can switch between athletic and lean body types via the Style menu on the Contestants screen. You can then adjust your face and hair based on what best represents the character you want to play. It’s a pretty inclusive approach that ditches the labels and gives players an opportunity to create who they want to play. There are masculine and feminine-leaning choices so pick what you prefer.

Note that this has no impact whatsoever on gameplay. The size of your character is determined by which class you pick. Light class offers small-sized players while Medium and Heavy classes increase your size accordingly. But don’t worry since this also improves your health as well.
