Fall Guys Free For All: Season 1

Fall Guys Free For All

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, a multiplayer game released in 2020, is now available for free on PC (via Epic Games Store), PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, and buyers who acquired the game before it went free will receive the Legacy Pack featuring cosmetic upgrades and the Season 1 Battle Pass.

The day has finally arrived. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, which was released for PC and consoles in 2020, is now available for free on all platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game's release on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox will be a first, as will the Epic Games Store release for PC. PlayStation owners will have to switch to the free version, but they will receive the Legacy Pack, which includes cosmetic enhancements, as well as the premium Season 1 Battle Pass, for free.

Fall Guys has been withdrawn from Steam, which means it is no longer available for purchase (Epic Games acquired Tonic Games Group, the parent company Mediatonic March 2, 2021). However, if you have a copy, you may still access it through your library. Fortunately, Mediatonic will continue to support the game with updates. Which means, you are not required to migrate to the Epic Games Store. That's great news for those who don't have to worry about it. Oh, and you'll get the Legacy Pack for free, which includes some cosmetic enhancements, as well as the premium Season 1 Battle Pass!

For those who are new to the game, the only method to play on PC is via Epic Games. I am aware that some people disapprove of Epic Games and wish the game was still accessible for download on Steam. Sadly, this is the only option unless you bought it before on Steam. 

According to the developer's Steam post, everyone who already owns the game on Steam will receive full support and all new updates.

With all the excitement building, we wanted to just take a moment to address the future of Fall Guys on Steam.  For everyone that already owns the game, rest assured that you will continue to receive full support and all the tasty updates that land on other platforms, including crossplay and cross-progression support.  However, please note that after 1:00am EST on June 21, new players will be unable to purchase and download Fall Guys on Steam, and the product page will no longer show on the storefront.  If you already own the game and want to find information, discussion boards and support, please follow the links from the Fall Guys listing in your game library. For any in-game support, reach out to our amazing Support Team.  We’ll see you in the Blunderdome

"Where can I download or install Fall Guys?" you ask. Here are the platforms:

After installing "Fall Guys" on my Xbox, I was prompted to link my Epic Games account to Xbox. My initial thoughts on the game are that it is enjoyable and can be incredibly fun when played online with friends. Unfortunately, I was eliminated with 16 players remaining and landed in the slime. I wasn't ready, lol. The next round went well. I was in the final three on the hex map when I fell down. Here are two videos from my first two rounds.



I haven't had the opportunity to create or join a new party yet, but I will soon. Mediatonic has verified that cross-play and cross-progression will be included. This means you'll be able to establish a party with your friends regardless of the platform they're playing on. That's fantastic!

Oh, and people who purchased Fall Guys before it became free will be pleased with this news. The following is a quote taken from their support page:

What is the Legacy Pack?

As thanks to all our amazing players that have supported us from our first stumbly step together, we’re going to be awarding a new Legacy Pack to everyone that picked up Fall Guys before going Free for All. 

This bounding box of delights will contain a nickname, nameplate, the Regal costume, the Veggie Dog costume, the Feisty Dwarf costume – and a Season Pass for Season 1!

Once you login after June 21st, these will be automatically granted to you in-game. Your Season Pass from this pack will only be active for Season 1, so hop on and join us to make the most of it.

And yes! You will receive the Legacy Pack if you received Fall Guys for free via PS Plus.

You may buy the Season Pass with "Show-Bucks," an in-game currency. 

Show-Bucks in-game currency tiers. 1000 for $7.99, 2800 for $19.99, 5000 for $31.99, 13500 for $79.99

In "Fall Guys," players can buy costumes, emotes and other items from the store. They can also opt for a free progression path with some fun unlockables or purchase the Season Pass to earn 1,200 Show Bucks, compared to 300 Show Bucks with the free path. The game also offers a $9.99 "Legendary Season 1 Starter Pack."

Here's the Season Pass Trailer:

he season pass covers 100 tiers, with 50 awards available through the free progression route and the remaining tiers accessible by purchasing the pass for 950 show-bucks. Upon purchase, players will immediately have access to the entire Ezio outfit for the debut season.

Begin playing immediately. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I have and I anticipate discovering the amount of time I will spend on it.

Release notes from FallGuys

NEW ROUNDS AND OBSTACLES!

Free for All features 7 new Rounds at launch, plus 5 brand new obstacles!

  • HEX-A-RING: You’ve heard of Hex-a-Gone, but have you ever tried jumping from tile to tile while the whole floor rotates? That definitely sounds challenging, but you look like you’re up for a challenge!

  • VOLLEYFALL: Volleyfall asks, who can knock the ball into the other side of the court without the other players hitting it back into yours? Whoever gets the ball to touch the floor of the other player, wins!
  • SPEED CIRCUIT: Speed Circuit brings a new level of chaos and momentum to Fall Guys! Navigate through the obstacles in your way and run three laps around the circuit without being flung into the misty slime.
  • TRACK ATTACK: This truly is a gauntlet to test your Fall Guys skills. With obstacles like speed arches, jump ropes and bouncy floors, you’re bound to learn a thing or two. For both experienced and new players, there are so many ways to get to the finish line in this iconic trial of speed and agility.
  • BOUNCE PARTY: We all love bouncy castles, but what’s it like to traverse the Blunderdome on one? The new material used in Bounce Party makes the floor very bouncy. One jump and you’re going flying! The bouncy floor can be your friend, or your foe while you bounce through hoops to score points.
  • THE SWIVELLER: In this revolving Round, players spawn on a rotating ring and must jump over the oncoming jump ropes to avoid falling into the Slime! Get your jump timing wrong and you’ll be picking pink slime out of your ears for weeks!
  • BLAST BALL: Last but definitely not least, welcoming Blast Ball. Players spawn on a platform in the Fall Guys arena, with parts of that platform collapsing over time. Pick up Blast Balls and throw them to knock each other into the slime!

The Season Pass introduces a new currency, Show Dollars, and offers exclusive rewards to players who pre-register for the game.
