Fall Guys Fans Are Concerned the Game May Shut Down

Players of Fall Guys are worried about the game’s future, with some fearing that the developers may no longer be actively supporting it. While Fall Guys was a big hit when it launched in 2020 – letting friends compete or cooperate in chaotic, obstacle-course challenges similar to Total Wipeout – its popularity has waned recently, leading to growing concerns within the community.

While many similar games have come and gone, *Fall Guys* was undeniably a massive hit when it first launched. Though its popularity has decreased somewhat recently, it achieved incredible success early on, even breaking the world record in 2021 as the most downloaded game ever offered with PlayStation Plus. Originally available on PlayStation 4 and PC, *Fall Guys* has since expanded to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

Fall Guys’ Latest Update Sparks Big Concerns

Despite continued updates, the latest patch for *Fall Guys* has worried many players. Fans noticed the update includes content celebrating the game’s 6th anniversary – which isn’t for another year – leading them to believe the developers, Mediatonic, might be winding down support. While the update does include some new items, players have discovered a schedule of cosmetic additions planned for the next four months, suggesting a lack of substantial new content in the near future. Some fear this means *Fall Guys* is heading for a long period with little to no updates, potentially ending with Epic Games discontinuing the game altogether.

In 2021, Epic Games bought Tonic Games Group, the company behind the popular game *Fall Guys*. Epic promised the gameplay wouldn’t change and that they would continue to support the game. However, fans worried about how the acquisition would affect *Fall Guys*, especially if Epic would add a lot of in-game purchases. Because Epic is known for the free-to-play game *Fortnite*, rumors quickly spread that *Fall Guys* might eventually be included within *Fortnite*. With updates for *Fall Guys* seeming to slow down, many fans now believe it’s only a matter of time before you can only play *Fall Guys* through *Fortnite*.

Fortnite started as a cooperative game where players worked together to fight against enemies in a mode called Save the World. But in 2017, the creators released a free-to-play Battle Royale mode that quickly became incredibly popular. Fortnite has changed a lot since then and is now more of a creative platform, like Roblox and Minecraft. With additions like LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival, plus countless games made by players, Fortnite is now much more than a single game. This makes it likely that Epic Games will eventually add Fall Guys to the Fortnite platform as well.
