In a few hours Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will switch to a free-to-play model and debut on new hardware platforms. The game has already disappeared from sale on Steam.
Update:
The free version of the game is now available for download on all platforms except PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the popular multiplayer game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.
At the same time, the so-called Season 1: Free for All! will debut, which will offer new challenges and rewards.
Recall that Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout debuted in August 2020 on PC and PS4. The game turned out to be a huge hit - only on Steam more than 11 million copies have been sold. On PlayStation 4, the game was initially available as part of the PS Plus subscription and the project quickly became most downloaded game in the history of this service.
In March last year, Tonic Games, the studio responsible for the game was bought by Epic Games, but until now the game was available on Steam.
It is worth adding that Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is not the first game that went through such a process. In 2019, Epic Games acquired the creators of Rocket League. In the case of this game, after some time it was removed from distribution on Steam and switched to F2P.
