Fall Guys went free-to-play just over two weeks ago when it finally debuted on Switch in June. Mediatonic's colourful multiplayer game has already hit a milestone of 20 million players within 48 hours, and those numbers have more than doubled since then.
Mediatonic celebrated with a rather bright and bean-y visual of a world full of Fall Guys over on the game's official Twitter account:
We're only in the first season of the free-to-play version of Fall Guys, but we've already had a few updates — including one earlier today — as well as the addition of Odin and Eivor from Assassin's Creed Valhalla and some Among Us costumes.
Whatever is coming next for Fall Guys, we're sure we'll find out soon enough and we hope the game continues to ride the momentum. Despite the game's servers struggling in the first few days, we were pretty positive after spending some time messing around online.
Are you one of the 50 million players stumbling around in Fall Guys? Let us know in the comments!

I got it for my kids,
They already invest like usd$50 and im starting to feel nervous 😳
Get ready for the fortnite cross over and in game live performances
I've enjoyed this on Switch. Its a nice game to jump in for a couple rounds while figuring out what else to play. I'm really bad at it mind you
If I have 5 minutes to kill, this isn't a bad way to kill those 5 minutes.
If the internet at home isn't crap (it's was an issue last week, haven't been a lot at home this week to check properly), I'll play some Fall Guys when I get home.

Proabably a better investment than Bitcoin rn.
Fall Guys was pretty disappointing. The controls were quite unsatisfying, gameplay felt sluggish, and winning was not satisfying. It's a shame because I love platformers and I thought a Battle Royale platformer would be right up my alley. I'll just go back to Tetris 99 instead.
I have to admit I’m part of that number. Played with a friend, it was fun.
Tried it for a few matches but it takes as long to find a match as it does to play the match, so that was a quick uninstall.
Actually a much better game than I previously thought. Currency system isn't great though, nice one to play with a friend without investing anything.
I managed to win one show so far. I'm having a ton of fun with this game.
Question : Are you one of the 50 million players stumbling around in Fall Guys?
Me: Definitely NO. I am against Free-2-Play business practice.
It’s fun and it’s free.
@Anti-Matter your loss bucko.. 50 million people love it and I’m sure they don’t all spend money.. I (for one) am having a blast playing an hour here and there.. you get purple coins naturally by playing to buy shop items and you get parts of the ‘battle pass’ free just for leveling up.. I somehow got the first season pass for free when I downloaded it on Switch.. while I do share your thoughts on the crappy business practices of these F2P games, you can’t deny the simple silly fun some of these games offer for free.. hope you can open your mind a bit one day.. no one should miss out on free fun
@WolfyTn
I will never want to join in fun with free-2-play business practice. I don't want freebies stuff like that. I want a paid product in physical with reasonable price and great quality.
Also, the game itself looked meh in my opinion.
Great news for those that enjoy this game.
Played a few rounds and sadly this game isn't for me.
Dead game. I've started playing along with my son, and it's a very fun game.
It is a very fun game. However, due to my terrible internet, I don’t really play it much. But when I can get a good connection I do enjoy the game.
Have downloaded it today and might play it later. I don't plan on spending any money but we'll see.
Got a victory yesterday, so I gotta say I'm loving the influx of new players 😏
I bought the game when it initially released, so I've got a costume I'm more than happy with. There's absolutely no need to spend money, it's entirely cosmetics.
Need more games like fall guys it's alot of silly fun
One of my favorite games right now
Regardless of the shop, this game is sooo fun!
Surprised they didn't rename it Rage Guys tbh.
@Would_you_kindly Well that silly fun is certainly good at turning people into an impressionist, in this case they like doing impressions of The Incredible Hulk. I hear it all the time over my microphone.
@RubyCarbuncle I don't use a mic too anti social lol I'm sure it does make people angry but it just makes me laugh I played a match the other day & grabbed a player so they couldn't move so they fell off the platform I died too but it was really funny 😂
@SteamEngenius Yeah, I noticed that. If you die quickly, sometimes starting up a game is longer than the gameplay. Games like Tetris 99, Among Us, Killer Queen Black, Pokemon Unite are quick to get into and the playtime is usually longer. I thought Fall Guys was just okay. Definitely didn't live up to the hype.
I'm kind of curious how many of those 50 million played in the first 3 days then quit.
Game is pretty fun when going in squad mode. I really love the squad mode where you can't respawn. (Sadly that was a limited time mode, I wish it was a permanent mode)
Anyways, a downside to this game is the music. I find it underwhelming for this game.
50 million players and yet they can only find 15/16 players for Fall Ball to make it an unfair 7 vs 8 😂
I'm having lots of fun with the game, even though the 'free to play' changes they made to costumes does suck away a little of the joy.
Playing every now and then
welp time to get them little piggies and big pigs...- this is just another "give me your money" application, can't call it a game anymore..
