“Fall Guys” now Free-2-Play on all platforms
If you haven’t bought “Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout” yet, you can rejoice as of today.
The battle royale jump-n-run phenomenon is starting a new era. Almost two years after the game’s launch, the possible platforms are being expanded first: As of today, “Fall Guys” is available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, in the Epic Games Store and as its own NextGen version for the PlayStation 5. Wow. And here’s the best part: the whole thing is free for everyone starting today. So also for the systems on which the game was already running yesterday.
Starting today, the previously paid game can be played for free. In addition, the brightly colored party fun will be released on other platforms – including crossplay!
Fans who are already active should not go away empty-handed either. After all, they made the game big in the first place and paid money for it. Starting today, you can invite new friends to the “Takeshi’s Castle” version of a course race, for example. Previous players can also look forward to the “Legacy Pack,” which includes a number of fancy items and the first free Season Pass. At least that’s how it was announced recently in an official press release.
“The Season Pass is a new, improved version of the game’s free progression path,” it says on the part of the publishers. This can be purchased for all newcomers with the new in-game currency “Show Bucks”. “The game’s free progress path will be maintained along with the existing currency, Kudos.” Fittingly, the first Season for the free launch is named “Free For All.”
Free Battle Royale fun on all platforms.
The highlight for us: whether at home on the console, on the road on the handheld or in the lunch break on the PC. Thanks to “Cross-Progression”, progress is synchronized on all available gaming systems. Similar to Apple Arcade, where you can start your games on all devices and continue playing elsewhere. Nothing new, admittedly. But a very cool feature that fans of Fall Guys will surely like to use. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
