Fall Guys is coming to Switch and Xbox this summer
Update: Xbox Series X/S versions also confirmed
Chaotic battle royale game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is coming to Nintendo Switch in the summer of 2021.
UPDATE: Mediatonic has also confirmed that Fall Guys will be released for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One this summer.
ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: The news was confirmed during Wednesday’s ongoing Nintendo Direct live stream.
Fall Guys released for Steam and PS4 in August 2020, with the console version available for free to PlayStation Plus members that month.
The game quickly became the most downloaded PS Plus title of all time and has sold over 11 million copies on PC, according to developer Mediatonic.
Shortly after Fall Guys released for PS4 and PC, Mediatonic said it would “love” to bring the colourful last man standing game to other platforms in the future.
Publisher Devolver Digital said in January that it has “no plans” to release the title on Xbox Game Pass.
The company issued a statement on the matter after the official Xbox Game Pass Instagram account suggested Fall Guys was set to join Microsoft’s subscription service.
Fall Guys Season 3, Winter Knockout, launched in December, introducing seven new rounds, fresh obstacles and dozens of costumes.
Its mid-season update arrived in late January, adding a new level, 40 variations to existing courses, plus fresh DLC and costumes.
