One game the video game world has completely fallen in love with this week is the 60-player battle royale party title, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. It's developed by the British developer Mediatonic (Murder By Numbers), published by Devolver Digital and is inspired by hilarious television game shows such as Takeshi's Castle and Total Wipeout.
At the moment, it's only available on Steam (PC) and PlayStation 4, so what are the chances of it coming to other platforms like the Nintendo Switch? In an FAQ on Mediatonic's website, it all depends on how much demand there is for it elsewhere.
Are there any plans for a Xbox or Switch release?
To start with, Fall Guys will only be available on PS4 and Steam. We'd love to bring the game to other platforms further down the line. Please let us know on Twitter and Discord which platforms you'd like us to release on next - we'd love to see how much demand there is!
Earlier this week, Mediatonic said the servers for the game simply weren't ready for such a massive launch - with the game registering 1.5 million players in just 24 hours. On top of this, it's more popular than Grand Theft Auto 5 on Steam right now.
Would you like to see Fall Guys on the Switch? Tell us down below.

Would loooove to have this game on Switch!
Is probably okay out, people seem to enjoy it.
Would loooove to have this game on Switch!
It’s just so fun, like a proper playable Takeshi’s Castle. They’ve even got some of the rounds like the fake doors one!
It'd be in their best interest to reach as many platforms as possible but I don't think I'd bother with it even if it came to the Switch. I've been watching a bit of it and while it's a fun concept, I know I'd get bored of it pretty quickly.
I would love Fall Guys on Switch. As much as I love it on PS4, it'll feel more at home on the Switch.
IDK if people are really passionate about it or if the Fall Guys ad team just bought out every major Nintendo YouTuber.
This would be a guaranteed hit on Switch and I'm sure the developers and Devolver Digital know that.
With the huge numbers playing online, I assumed it must be a free to play title but I just checked and it costs $20. That's really impressive.
it would fit into the switch library so well
I got for free for ps plus so I would soooo buy this game on switch and its not like getting it twice since it was free....TAKE MY FREAKEN MONEY!
I'd love to have this on Switch! Especially as I already pay for Nintendo Online, but am not currently a Playstation Plus subscriber...
It looks fun. Like if Mario Party decided to make a good, fun, high quality online experience instead of wondering what this newfangled internet thing is...
Was genuinely surprised this wasn't for the switch when it got announced, it looked like a perfect fit from the get-go.
@OorWullie The game is also free with PlayStation Plus right now.
It's fun for short bursts. Kind of like a Mario Party battle royale with just mini games and no board.
@HotGoomba Yeah, it has that proper Nintendo charm in the game!
This game would kill on the switch. They'd be fools not to put it there.
I'll be honest, fun as it would be on Switch, I'm a little concerned whether or not the machine would be able to handle this many players at the same time.
I'd definitely get it if it were handled well though!
So the last days we learned about games that maybe come, games that don't come and that the head of Xbox is gonna be in Animal Crossing.
Cool. Only thing missing is news about stuff that actually comes.
Just look at it! Could it be a better fit for switch? I would love this game, I really hope they bring it over. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
This looks like silly guns. Cross play with other platforms would be cool.
Ever since first laying eyes on it’s reveal trailer, I’ve thought Fall Guys would be a fantastic fit for the Switch. Provided it ran well in terms of performance, I’d buy it in a heartbeat should it ever pop up on the eShop!
Couldn’t agreed more with you, @CairiB. It looks like Fall Guys was handmade for Switch and, should it arrive on the eShop, it could even prove to be something of a cult favourite among Nindie fans!
@Yanina That’d certainly make a nice change! 😏
Could the Switch online service really handle it? If it can then sure, go for it.
I want it on Switch very much! I canceled my Playstation+ subscription years ago and I'm not going to start it again just for this one game.
I would love this on switch! Because my PC can't run games, and I don' t own a PS4, the switch is my only place to play games.
@ArmenianJedi13 I was skeptical at first as well. I don't really care for competitive games. However, after playing this on PS4, I see what the fuss is all about. This game is absolutely hilarious... and as someone who is terrible at competitive games... I actually can do alright in it.
Called at my sister’s house last night and went to see my nephew, he and his mates were all playing this game! I’d never heard of it, he seemed a wee bit embarrassed, he’s a teenager and generally only plays FIFA or Fortnite, but he was having an absolute blast playing it! Be an absolute smash on Switch.
Kind of reminds me of that MXC show
@The_Pixel_King agreed, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for this and everything crossed, looks like a total blast.
Been playing it on PS4, and its great fun. It would be great if it came to other platforms. Usually I don't like battle royale games, but this one is fast paced as well as having the competitive aspects of battle royale games.
All these Nintendo-ey games appear but some of them never even show up on Nintendo systems, it bugs me sometimes. lol
I’d be up for it
@Dustopolis Ah right, that explains how it's managed to get such a large audience so quickly.
Yes Yes Yes. I would love that
I LOVE when trailers don’t show in-game footage! It either brings the investigative side of me out, or the apathetic. As a game company, you gotta like those odds!
@StefanN :”Would loooove to have this game on Switch!”
@TG16_IS_BAE : “Would loooove to have this game on Switch!”
Seriously though, I would looooove to have this game on Switch! Look really fun from what I can tell on YouTube.
@BabyYoshi12 Really? Cause I would looooove to have this game on Switch.
@BabyYoshi12 @TG16_IS_BAE
Dude i hear ya! I would looooove to have this game on Switch.
@StefanN My god I looooove being able to play games like this on Switch can’t wait so I can loooove it long time
@TG16_IS_BAE Man i loooove loving games on Switch, i can't wait to love it, much looooove dude
