Everything You Need to Know About 'Fall Guys'

Forget about Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone, the hottest multiplayer game of the summer is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. First announced at E3 in 2019, Fall Guys is a colorful wonderland that quickly skyrocketed to the number one spot on Twitch and Steam.

Most battle royale titles have gamers running and gunning their opponents down, but developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital’s Fall Guys ditched the shooter aesthetic all together and opted for less deadly but equally stressful minigames. Whether gamers are running away from giant pieces of produce on a Wipeout-esque obstacle course or quickly hustling to the proper memory square on a giant battlefield, there is a lot of pulse-pounding fun to be had.

Fall Guys may be available for online matches on both Microsoft Windows and Playstation, but cross-play is not a current feature.

Playstation owners who have friends playing on their PCs don’t have to worry though, as Mediatonic acknowledges that cross-platform playability is something they “really want to do in the future.”

Like any battle royale worth its weight in gold, Fall Guys knows how to keep players coming back for more. In order to distinguish each little bean figure from the next one on the field, gamers unlock and can purchase costumes and skins over time that add a bit of pizazz to the plain bean. ​​​
