The COVID-19 lockdowns weren't all bad news. The pandemic might have forced studios and developers to delay games by months if not years, but some projects benefited from the situation.
Case in point, Fall Guys.
Fall Guys was one of the breakout successes of the early days of the pandemic, with players eager to join in on the fun and festive atmosphere of the brightly colored game. Due to its popularity, Epic Games decided to buy Mediatonic and Fall Guys has kept on keeping on ever since. Nearly two years into its lifecycle and it appears that Epic is ready to put the game's content into hyperdrive.
According to the live stream, Fall Guys is going free-to-play on June 21 as it makes its debut on the Epic Games Store as well as the Xbox family of consoles and the Nintendo Switch. If you're wondering, yes, Fall Guys will support cross-play and cross-progression at launch. If nothing else, this should guarantee Fall Guys a second surge of players coming from other platforms aside from the PS4 and PS5 as well as Steam.
