The original Fall Guys (Ultimate Knockout) experience did massively well, but only for a while. Soon after the craze toned down, fans started to feel the monotonous nature of the game and abandoned it. The player count dropped drastically as fans began to predict the end of a short Fall Guys era.

I have so much fun with my friends playing this game. Cross platform and free to play are the best. We play on Xbox series x, Xbox One, and Switch 🙂

While some attribute this breakout to the Fortnite x Fall Guys collaboration event that happened last week, the game going free-to-play has had a huge impact of its own.
It’s only because you gave us a fortnite skin lol!

It is, indeed, a notable feat for the Mediatonic team. Being the battle-royale platformer with incredible potential, Fall Guys was bound to be a success for the second time with the new platforms and content. Then again, Mediatonic should be able to keep things interesting to lock this massive player base.
