Happy for the team and excited about the future of the game (even if many have been disappointed with the new free to play model).

I love the idea of the game but I hate the physics. Its like Humans Fall Flat and Gangbeasts. It's too frustrating to control.

It's great having lobbies fill up very easily, I've been playing a bit and doing the daily/weekly challenges and have been having fun, minus being forced into shitty quads.

Impressive. I'm quite happy for them. I was finally able to join again, and I'm having a blast.

Thought this game was dead for good when it died down after the PS release, but FTP really brought it back.

I wonder if they are making much money from it because it seems like one of those games you play for an hour of fun every now and again, as opposed to playing it daily, like Fortnite/COD.

People playing Fortnite know, as the new skin came out, and it's even a special skin that changes over time. They then learn you can only get it playing Fall Guys.

I think the poster above is wrong to quantify "most" of the players as we can only guess, but that cross promotion was obviously done to get Fortnite players to try Fall Guys, and they have to actually play it quite a bit to get the skin.

Holy fuck lmao, that's perfect.

Great game, definitely needs a little more work on the F2P spending options. Hope it keeps popular and they can roll out new maps super often.

Its advertised once you open up fortnite that you can play fall giys to unlock the mancake skin. Its dumb but im only playing for that skin as is all my friends then be done with the game.

Edit: i am sure not every player is playing for thise skins. Just having fun but no need for youvall to get defensivve and digging through my wording on a forum lol

It's so wild how this game kinda died off in the public consciousness when Among Us blew up. Like I'm sure there was a sizeable dedicated userbase, but you just didn't hear people talk about it

Hitting F2P absolutely reignited conversation around it.

Is Among Us still a big thing? I never hear about it any more, but I was never into it in the first place.

Yeah, once I'm Level 100, I'm only coming back for events or when I want some fun.


I don't feel the need to continue daily challenges for Kudos or Crown Bits as nothing entices me.

Downloaded it over the weekend just for the heck of it, still as fun as the first time I played it.

Totally deserved. Fall Guys is one of the most fun games of my life and the only game that I'm happy in it even after losing! lol

I've been playing a couple matches before bed most nights since it came out. IDGAF about cosmetics so the changes to the game economy are completely irrelevant to me. It's just a really fun game. Got my first show win the other night!

Now make the monetization better, please. Coming from the old version to the free to play version is brutal.

Started playing again because of Fortnite awards. I'll probably play enough to level up entire season pass to get enough show bucks for the next pass. Crown wins seem less meaningful now since you can't buy anything in shop with them. I'll never spend real money on this.

I haven't gotten the crossplay functionality to work yet. Friend was on PC, me PS5.

I've been playing with my kids in a squad crossplay between PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC at the same time, so you should be able to get it there. Does the other players name not show up when you search or what's the issue?

I will say this - we often have to close the game and boot it up again when we're initiating invites to get it to work, but that's always done the trick.
