you have Fortnite with both. Tetris 99 with connections.
Feels like Splatoon in many ways. Similar vibe.
To be fair, Nintendo already has a Battle Royale.. With more players!

Still not sure how they are related. It makes more sense to believe that the beta keys/and twitch promo was more impactful for steam audience. Most streamers on this game play on pc.
They would have said that if it was. And on steam it's 20€.
That's exactly the vibe I got from it. First thing I thought of, I was like, "wow, this could be a first party Nintendo title! It's so simple and fun". And Tetris 99 is genius.
They've got a hit on their hands, lightning in a bottle, very happy for them. Also a positive sign that this game will grow significantly in terms of content, and figuring out what games are well received and what aren't. I'm personally loving it.
Yeah but we would need 'receipts' for that because the game is only $20 on steam with regional pricing enabled. They sure paid them a ton of money but obviously they won't disclose it and these kinds of (indie) games are equally as bigger sellers on steam or close to it as compared to its PS counterpart.. take rocket league for example for which the devs said that both were close to each other and its growth wouldn't be there without the other.
Oh is that how it works? Is there any up front sum paid or is it only for downloads? Is that still the case here given that it's a brand new release?
Look at how Rocket League took off (amirite?) when it got onto PS Plus as well. Some developers seem to seriously benefit from their games being given away. The trick indies now need to discover is what the secret sauce is that enables a game to explode in this way.
I mean if Rocket League is any indication....
Also we know games that are on Game Pass sell really well too.
Every time I saw that game I thought "Who wants this? This is gonna flop hard" which is why industry analysts study my brain and use it to say the complete opposite of whatever I think.
Holy cow.
They have to be going on a hiring spree to get more post launch content. This series has so much more potential if they dedicate more resources.
Another 50+ days for the next season needs to change.. Or at least more content needs to be added sooner.

Well deserved. What a summer hit.
This game is a great party title. Just.. it's a little too warm right now to play video games. But I'll pick it up again when it cools down a little.

I'm just speaking from my own experience here, but I've been playing it on PS4 since it launched thanks to PS+, had a blast with it and yesterday I convinced 3 other friends to get it on Steam, then I bought it on Steam to play with them too, that's 4 sales they got from my recommendation plus there's probably 4 or 5 other people in a WhatsApp group I'm in that I've persuaded into getting the game too. As I said, it's anecdotal experience but I can see the logic behind it now.
Gonna jump in when the Team/Party aspect gets a little bit more love (not jumping to your surviving team mates when you get eliminated, not easily identifiable who you play with, not that much difference to 1 player games, no squad feel) and when more games have been added.
Seems very fun, but also seems like there's still loads of potential in the initial idea. We'll see how the devs will support this one - my guess: Great!

2mil on Steam alone? Woooow! Glad I could contribute :)
fun game and I even paid for it when I could've gotten it for free on ps+

I've had fun with it, but I agree. Not enough content out the gate. Gets repetitive. I can see it dropping off pretty quickly if there isn't an update soon.
If Sony kept this direction up after Furi, it absolutely would have. But Plus just started to become a limiting crapshoot until this month.
Forgive me but I swear most of these aren't true. You do jump to spectate your surviving team mates. You get arrows above the your team mates. You always get teams with your surviving team mates.
Never heard of this, but I just watched the trailer and it looks right up my alley. Glad for the free PS+ copy.
Yeah I think it crossed into 2-5 million after only 3-4 days.
God damn and that's with it being free on ps plus.
Game is super fun. They just need to sort connection issues
hopefully they are equipped to support this game in the future

No worries - I watched a few streams and the Giant Bomb Quick Look and especially in that one it seemed like it wasn't the case. Especially the spectating team mates. And from that stream it was also very hard to see who played as a team. Of course you're gonna play with your surviving teammates, that is not what I was trying to convey - sorry if that was worded weirdly.
Good to hear that this stuff is already fixed or was never the case then.
I'll still wait a bit, but that makes the game already more attractive to me.
Oh! That makes more sense. I'd assumed there was a crown in each of the final games . . . But I'd forgotten about hexagone.
With 2 million sales at ~$20 a piece, might be closer to ~$40+ million in revenue in a week, excluding microtransactions.
Wow those Steam sales are way higher than I expected, I expected a million pretty quick, but 2 million in such a short time is impressive.
The ball really is now in the devs court. If they play things right, they could keep Fall Guys relevant for a long time.

Really happy to see how well the launch went!
I hope they improve co-op soon because my friends and I ended up having a bad time when one of us failed to qualify. We ended up quitting of anyone failed so we could play together.
Excited to see how this title grows! I hope Devolver take investment seriously and support the devs and community.

I'm not sure that there's a way around that. The games go fairly quickly so it's not that bad to just watch your friends if you fail to qualify.
