Fall Guys surpasses 50 million players since going free-to-play

The official Fall Guys Twitter account has declared that the battle royale party game has now welcomed 50 million beans in two weeks.

The news comes just over a week since Epic Games announced a milestone of 20 million players in its first 48 hours of going free-to-play. Now, that number has ballooned to more than twice that size across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC. “We’re in absolute disbelief,” reads the tweet. “50 million players in two weeks!!! Unbelievable. Thanks everyone!”

In the midst of the celebrations, the team has announced the game’s next crossover challenge. It’s bringing some Assassin’s Creed goodness to the game following the Halo-themed challenge last week. From today, players will be able to find the Abstergo’s Challenge in-game. Completing this special show, with a bespoke Sweet Thieves game, can net players some sweet AC-themed rewards. These include an ‘Animus Trainee’ nickname, name plates, a new pattern and an Apple of Eden backpack.

Those who’d like to go one step further can step into Store for a pair of new costumes. They’re based on Eivor and Odin the Wolf Father, both from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Players can pick up each costume individually, or in a bundle with an extra nameplate for 2000 Show Bucks. Those who’ve forked out for the Season Pass will already have an Ezio costume in their inventory too.

The Abstergo’s Challenge show runs in Fall Guys from today until July 11, and you can check out a trailer below. Fall Guys is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
