Developer Mediatonic announced on May 17th, “Fall Guys: Ultimate KnockoutAnnounced that the basic play will be free on June 21st. Also on the same day, Nintendo Switch / Xbox One / Xbox Series X | S and PC (Epic Games Store) / PS5 version will be released.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is an online-only battle royale action game where up to 60 players compete until they are the last one. It was released in advance for PC (Steam) / PS4 in 2020 and gained great popularity. Since then, content has been added and updated in a seasonal format.
The Nintendo Switch / Xbox One version of this work was announced in February 2021, and although it was scheduled to be delivered in the summer of the same year, it was postponed after that. This time, the delivery date has finally been decided. In addition, PS5 / Xbox Series X | S and PC versions will be released at the Epic Games Store. On the other hand, the Steam version will be discontinued (future updates will be distributed to existing users). The game supports cross-play, cross-platform party, and cross-progression by using an Epic Games account, so users can continue to play on their favorite platform.
As you can see in the image below, the Xbox Series X | S version can be played at higher resolution and 60fps. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to earn one costume each month for three months from the date of delivery. Also, the PS5 version targets 4K / 60fps, and the visuals will be brighter and look better. The loading time is also accelerated.
And it is also decided that this work will be free to play. It is said that the contents of all seasons delivered so far can be played. Free-to-play legacy packs will be given to players who have not been free to play. In addition to the three costumes and nameplates, the Season 1 season pass, which will be described later, is included. To make sure you get it, start this game by June 21st.
A new season 1 will start for free-to-play. New stages and costumes will appear. Also, a season pass that can be purchased with Show Bucks, the in-game currency, has been added. 100 stages that can be unlocked are recorded, and players who have reached the upper limit will be able to get a season pass for the next season. A free achievement pass will continue to be offered, and existing players will be able to take over Kudos.
“Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout” will be free-to-play on June 21st. Also, Nintendo Switch / Xbox One / Xbox Series X | S and PC (Epic Games Store) / PS5 version will also be delivered from the same day.
