Developed by Mediatonic, Fall Guys was released on August 4, 2020, on PC and PS4. Taking inspiration from game shows such as Ninja Warrior and Wipeout, Fall Guys is a physics-based, multiplayer online battle royale with a rotation of courses and challenges for players to conquer. In the first two years of service, Fall Guys previously required a one-time purchase to play the game on either platform. Earlier this year, on June 21, the game transitioned to a free-to-play model and was released on Xbox, PS5, and Switch that same day. Crossplay and cross-progression save files were not originally featured in Fall Guys but became part of the game during the change to free-to-play.

A Redditor by the username Street_Surround_4364 created a cake covered in mushroom fondant and posted their creation on the Fall Guys subreddit. The post received over 880 likes in just over a day, and the comments have ranged from creativity to debates about fondant. As for the cake itself, it was created for the seventh birthday of a child named Eric. The cake features four Fall Guys characters on the Perfect Match stage, which is one of the game’s logic challenges. In Perfect Match, players must look at the fruit on the front side screen and jump to the matching tile to avoid falling off. The challenge has gone through some changes to mix up the difficulty since it launched with the Fall Guys beta, with each iteration adding different obstacles for players to overcome.

Despite some growing pains, the game remains as popular as ever. The game’s popularity and current business model are owed in part to crossover content from other games, such as Sonic the Hedgehog. These crossovers are featured in the form of cosmetic skins that players can either purchase with the battle pass or earn via normal play. Most recently, a crossover with the iconic TV series Doctor Who was brought into the game, with plenty of skins for players to collect.

Fall Guys is currently in its second season of free-to-play content, though it is not currently clear when the current season will conclude. However, with millions of players falling around and enjoying the game on their platforms, Fall Guys has benefited from the change to free-to-play. Only time will tell how the game will fare in 2023 and beyond.

Fall Guys is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
