Fall Guys proves it has legs

Fall Guys has been one of the profitable on-line video games over the previous few years, and for good cause. After the flood of battle royale video games we acquired, it was a pleasant change of tempo to have one which was a colourful, goofy platformer that we might play with associates. I do know I actually acquired swept up in it when it first got here out, and had a blast making an attempt one thing new even when I used to be horrible. Now, Fall Guys is seeing much more success, and I couldn’t be happier {that a} artistic and genuinely enjoyable concept is getting the like it deserves.

The official Fall Guys account tweeted this morning that the sport has formally surpassed 50 million gamers! Thrilling information for a sport with such humble beginnings. If you happen to’re questioning why the sport is simply now garnering such a giant participant base, it’s as a result of Fall Guys simply switched to a free-to-play mannequin with battle passes and all that great things on June 21. The opposite vital change was that it moved off of Steam and onto the Epic Video games Launcher, and was made obtainable on Xbox and Nintendo Swap for the primary time.

We’re in absolute disbelief…

After the rerelease, Fall Guys garnered 20 million gamers in 48 hours, which is a reasonably spectacular feat for a sport that’s over two years previous. Now it’s greater than doubled that after two weeks.

If nothing else, this state of affairs has proved that the free-to-play mannequin could be fairly efficient at getting gamers to strive a brand new sport, and since the outfits are such a enjoyable a part of Fall Guys, the battle go system ought to work nicely for them. Right here’s hoping that the sport continues to stay round for some time, as a result of each time I see clips of it, it simply makes me completely happy.

I suppose now’s a greater time than any to leap again on the practice, and attempt to declare a crown of my very own as soon as and for all.
