Fall Guys Devs Ask Gamers For Patience To Fix Frustrating Matchmaking Issues
Fall Guys released on Steam and PlayStation back in 2020, and has been a fairly popular title since. The game quickly became the most downloaded PS Plus title of all time and had already sold 11 million copies on PC by the end of 2020, according to Mediatonic. But players on Xbox and other devices still clamored for the game to be released on other platforms as well. Now, players can download the game (for free) on Xbox, Epic Games Store, and the Nintendo Switch as well. But if you do, you may run into some issues with matchmaking.
The Fall Guys Twitter account issued an apology yesterday concerning the issues players were encountering. The tweet asked for the continued patience of players as the team worked on cleaning up the frosting that had dried up, and the ants that were suppose to eat the dried up frosting, but in turn made the problem worse.
The parent company of Mediatonic, Tonic Games Group, was purchased by Epic Games Store for an undisclosed sum last year. While the game was meant to release on the other platforms last year, it was delayed so that devs could work on implementing new features, such as cross-platform play. The game now supports cross-platform and cross-progression on all platforms.
With the game being made free on the new platforms, it is also free on Steam as well. But don't worry if you purchased the game on Steam, it will continue to receive full support. Those who already owned the game before the move to make it free, should be looking for a free Legacy Pack to coincide with the game going free-to-play as well. It is said to include three costumes and access to Season 1's new premium season pass.
