Despite that change in storefronts, the Fall Guys player count on Steam saw a huge spike too—nearly five times as many concurrent players at its peak as in the previous month. Unsurprisingly, it's also doing pretty well on Epic, which set a new record for active players on June 21, the day Fall Guys went free...

Placing the family-friendly BR at #4 on Steam's list of most played games and making Fall Guys the biggest launch ever for Devolver Digital and their developer Mediatonic.
With every major triple-A studio in the gaming industry trying to have the next big battle royale, nobody would have guessed that Fall Guys, an adorable game with no weapons made by a small indie studio, would be the one to climb to the top and go for the crown against serious shooters.
But here we are in 2020, a year that keeps getting crazier and crazier, and no publisher in the gaming industry does crazy better than Devolver.
The publisher's latest goofy physics-driven game takes inspiration from game shows like Takeshi's Castle and MXC by pitting 60 players against each other in a series of mini-games -- think Mario Party -- but on a much bigger multiplayer scale. Characters look like Minions and the game's battle pass allows hilarious costumes to be unlocked like hot dogs, french fries, and milkshakes.
Fall Guys' record-breaking numbers have already more than doubled Devolver's previous biggest launch, SCUM (another BR geared towards a different adult demographic where players could defecate in-game), which saw a peak of 68k players on Steam back in September 2018.
What's even more impressive is that Fall Guys is currently $20 on Steam while free for PlayStation Plus members on PS4. With mostly positive reviews for a game that's free at launch on another platform, higher viewer counts than Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone on Twitch, it's highly likely that Fall Guys' numbers will grow even more over the weekend and the game stick around a bit longer than Devolver's last breakout BR hit.
