Epic Games has announced that Fall Guys’ transition into a free-to-play title has been a bean-tumbling success over the weekend.
The game’s official Twitter account announced it had hit a huge milestone soon after launching in its new form. In fact, within the first 48 hours in the new Free For All form it had said hello to 20 million players. That’s across all formats, including Switch and Xbox who were new additions in the relaunch.
As you’d probably expect for an online game, said launch was not without its teething issues. The sheer numbers of players attempting to get into the game caused some disruption for the first few hours. It seems a few backend patches have fixed most of these issues now, however.
Fall Guys announced back in May it was moving to a free to play model for its Xbox and Nintendo Switch launch. As well as adding a bunch of new rounds and new content, the Free-For-All sees the season counter reset. Free-For-All is now considered the game’s Season One in this new era, and comes with a Season Pass.
Of course, Fall Guys‘ free-to-play transition doesn’t mean the end of its many collaborations either. The first of these will kick off later this week, as Fall Guys kicks off a Halo themed crossover from June 30.
MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE STUMBLED
We reached an incredible 20 million players in the first 48 hours of Free For All! 🙌
