Game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is confirmed to be coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox on June 21. Free!
The game by Mediatonic was previously released for PlayStation and PC in August 2020, and was originally slated to arrive on Switch and Xbox last summer. But his presence was delayed, and will only happen on June 21.
Besides being available for Switch and Xbox, Mediatonic will also update the game for PS5, which will be released simultaneously. Players will be able to continue playing from other platforms on the new platform, as well as being able to play with players from other platforms.
Interestingly, this Fall Guys will be available for free, no longer a paid game as before. But about it, for those who have already bought this game will receive certain compensation.
That is like the Legacy Pack which contains three new clothes, titles, and nameplates. Then they will also get a premium season pass, as quoted by us from The Verge, Tuesday (17/5/2022).
Mediatonic, which is now owned by Epic Games, announced its move to the free-to-play scheme via a video they posted on YouTube. At the same time announcing a number of in-game updates, such as a map editor, free skins for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, and so on.
Players who previously purchased Fall Guys on Steam can still play the game via Steam. However, new players have to buy it through the Epic Game Store.
When it was first released, Fall Guys caused quite a stir because of its interesting gameplay. Suitable for playing with the family, with the right release time. That is during a pandemic, where many people spend time at home.
The number of players once recorded a record 172 thousand on Steam in 2020. But now the number of players has drastically reduced to just 7000 people, according to data from SteamDB.
However, the change to a free to play scheme is expected to increase the number of players. As has happened in many other games, for example PUBG: Battlegrounds, which in addition to increasing the number of players, its income also skyrocketed thanks to the change to the free to play scheme.
