Fall Guys, the colourful battle royale version of It’s a Knockout, has “skyrocketed past” the number of players developer Mediatonic expected to turn up on day one.
Looking like a cross between Minions and Fortnite, Fall Guys launched today on Steam and PlayStation 4, where it’s available at no extra charge through PlayStation Plus.
Writing on Twitter, the official Fall Guys account recorded more than 120,000 people online at lunchtime today – and an hour later, that the developer would now need to switch off matchmaking for 30 minutes to “beef up servers”.
