by Rainier on Feb. 22, 2022 @ 4:51 p.m. PST

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout flings hordes of contestants together online in a mad dash through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains!

Battle bizarre obstacles, shove through unruly competitors, and overcome the unbending laws of physics as you stumble towards greatness. Leave your dignity at the door and prepare for hilarious failure in your quest to claim the crown!

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout’s broad appeal comes from not taking itself too seriously. In the game, dozens of contestants play together online in a mad dash through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains. Contestants compete as colorful little jelly beans as they battle bizarre obstacles, shove through unruly competitors, and overcome the unbending laws of physics as they stumble towards greatness.

The Season 6 update comes with some of our most-anticipated functionality: you can now party-up with your Fall Guys buddies regardless of whether they’re on PC or PlayStation, courtesy of some swanky tech from our friends at Epic Online Services!

We’re also delighted to introduce a brand-new game mode called Sweet Thieves, as well as a whole host of bug-fixes for you to sink your wrenches into.

Crossplay!

So first and foremost, we’re SO pumped to announce the arrival of cross-platform lobbies! This means that you and your friends can form parties while playing Fall Guys regardless of whether they are on PC or PlayStation™. Though you were previously able to form cross-platform lobbies in Custom Shows, this now means you can party-up and enjoy any of our applicable playlists in Fall Guys—from Squads, to Duos, to Main Show and beyond.

As long as you and your friends have already linked your Epic Accounts to Fall Guys, you’ll be able to play together by using the “Invite Players” functionality. Don’t worry if you, or others, haven’t linked accounts yet; there’ll be a prompt to do so upon launching the game. Here’s more info on linking your Epic account! Anyone that you already have added as friends on PlayStation or Steam will automatically appear in your Epic friends list. To add new friends,simply search for them by using their Epic or PlayStation™ name, and voila - if they also have a linked account their name will appear.

To invite players to your party in Fall Guys, you can just press “Invite Players” from your main screen, and your Epic Friends will be available to party-up with. Find out more about how this works and check out our FAQs over on our Fall Guys Support Page. The Support Team is also on hand to help in case you run into any issues!

We know that news regarding Fall Guys on Nintendo Switch and Xbox is highly anticipated. We're finalising development, and though it isn't within this update, it’s still coming! Until then, we're super excited to enable this cross-platform functionality for our existing platforms as a first step.
