The Mid Season Update is here with Remixed Gauntlet Levels and the debut of Big Yeetus! Check it out:


Today’s mid-season update adds a whole new layer of colourful chaos, full of fiendish takes on familiar rounds and some surprising twists to keep those jelly beans on their toes.

With this latest patch, you will quickly start to see that all is not what it seems in The Blunderdome. Familiar favourites will have to be tackled in all new ways, with the addition of dozens of obstacles, dizzyingly random rotations and of course, plenty of tumbling fruit. And what’s more, players will have no idea when these changes will occur — no bean’s dignity shall be spared!



Dropping in at random, players will need to think on their feet to avoid an early trip to the slime! We really want to let these be a surprise for the community but as a sneak peek, you can expect to witness some wildly devious mixes of Season 1 classics.



But that’s not all - we've also implemented Easy Anti-Cheat in order to combat players using tools that hook into the game to apply hacks to our unsuspecting Fall Guys. Easy Anti-Cheat is used by the best in the business and will mean our jelly beans receive the very best protection from the bad eggs seeking to exploit them.

The mid-season patch goes live today and we cannot wait to hear what you think. You can catch us on Twitter or on our official Discord server. See you on the starting line!

Fall Guys Season 2 will bring the dragon fire with feudal fortresses, knockout knights and pugilistic paladins among new additions coming this October. A full season of new costumes, emotes and more will reward players as they lay siege to the Middle Ages!

BEANS! It has almost been a week since we unleashed Fall Guys upon the world!

Thank you so much for supporting the game and being patient while we figured out our server issues. It was a little bumpy for the first few days, but we had it running smoothly over the weekend!



As an apology to you all, and a thank you for bearing with us, we’d like to give you an in-game reward. We’re still working out what this will be exactly, and the technical side of gifting it to you all, but we’ll have more details on that soon.

We’re absolutely delighted by the community’s response to Fall Guys ever since we crashed headfirst onto Steam! We are beyond excited that you all were able to finally get your hands on what we spent two years creating!

Of course, this wouldn’t be a Fall Guys party without deeply fashionable swag and we’ve got all sorts on offer for you lovely early adopters. First up, all players during the first week of release will receive their very own BIG BAD WOLF costume. Which, contrary to the name, is actually really good. Look:



There’s only one day left to purchase the game to snag it!

But what if you got all stumbly in the Fall Guys beta? We see you - for your contribution to the war against physics, if you played at least one game during the beta you will be rewarded with this Crash Test Dummy skin! Keep an eye out, we will be dishing these out to eligible players a few days after you jump back into Fall Guys.



For those of you who got the early dubs in, we had something pretty special. A Steam exclusive Alyx from HalfLife skin was yours if you cashed in some of your delicious victory crowns.



That’s since been replaced with an awesome collab from our friends at Hotline Miami… Jacket:



If you didn’t get a chance to rack up the wins in time, these will be on rotation and appear in the store again, sometime in the future, so don’t fret!

The store is about to change again… and… for a little spoiler… the next costume is a Ninja!

Looking to the future, we’ve already got loads and loads of ridiculous content and updates lined-up to keep your Fall Guys experience fresh and fashionable. There will be fiendishly fun new levels, stylish and silly new costumes, and completely new features coming soon as we continue to evolve the Fall Guys experience and take in feedback from our incredible community.



But most importantly, if you’ve been getting involved in the Fall Guys beta hilarity for yourself, chucking memes at us on Twitter or simply taking the time to kick back and laugh at all the uncoordinated silliness unfolding on Twitch, we want to say thank you. Jump in on Steam and we hope you have the absolute best time.

Speaking of Twitter, some of our tweets have really been ‘popping off’ as the trendy beans call it. Take a look for yourself here: Twitter

We wanted to give an update on what that start line will look like when you finally get a chance to play! As of today we’re targeting a 60 person player count for closed beta and beyond into launch- here’s why:

1. 60 players creates the perfect amount of chaos.
When we first started working on Fall Guys we had to ballpark our player count based purely on what felt right to us, and 100 players became this talismanic number we decided to aim for. “100 players, 1 winner“ instantly gives players a sense of the mayhem they’re going to deal with, and two years ago was the standard for all Battle Royale titles (Fall Guys isn’t a battle royale per sé, but when explaining the game for the first time it helps to draw those parallels).

Once we started prototyping gameplay we quickly we found that players couldn’t really tell the difference between 50 and 100 contestants. Regularly we’d ask players “how many Fall Guys did that feel like you were playing with?” and their response was often twice as high as the actual number that were in-game with them. It turned out that we didn’t need as many players as we thought to create the crowds we wanted the gameplay to include.

We also began to find that 100 players made even our simplest levels too crowded and ultimately less fun. Players would lose their Fall Guy in giant bundles trying to fit through small gaps, and if we made our levels bigger they were too large and cavernous to feel cohesive. Once we reduced player counts to 60 we found the horde of Fall Guys still invoked all the craziness we wanted, but without any of the frustration and confusion that the extra 40 Fall Guys brought with them.


This is how crazy things can get on a 40 player Round!

2. Better performance across the board.
It also makes sense for us to aim to keep our player count as low as possible because a higher player count means more time spent matchmaking. We want players to have minimal downtime between Shows, and finding 60 players to play together have proved to be exponentially faster than finding 100.

On top of this we’re able to push both our networking and rendering budgets further with less objects on screen. At launch, players will be able to experience more accurate networking and more detailed visuals- 40% more in fact! (note, this number is made up by me and is in no way backed up by engineering or art teams).

3. More wins for everyone!
Your chance of winning just jumped from 1/100 to 1/60! We want Fall Guys to be a game anybody can pick up and enjoy, and by reducing our player count slightly we’re able to get more players through those early rounds and ultimately give everyone a better chance of leaving with the crown in their hands. We want everyone to feel like they’ve got a fair shot at victory (yes, even you).

Ultimately we’re still in development and things could change between now and launch, but through extensive playtesting we’re finding that 60 Fall Guys strikes the perfect balance of chaos and fun. We believe it’s going to create the best experience for players when they get their hands on the game during closed beta, and ultimately when the game goes live this summer.

We can’t wait to see you on the startline!
