Fall Guys is one of the great video game phenomena that have exploded from a couple of years ago to be part of it. A title that started out very small, not very popular, and that over time has gained weight until it has become an essential that attracts hundreds of thousands of players every day. What caused the landing of the almighty Epic Games on its shore.
The price of growing without stopping
As a result of this fever to play with Fall Guys, Epic Games, the fathers of Fortnite , knocked on Mediatonic’s door and decided to buy the game to add it to its portfolio of products, which it now takes over and decides on. what will be its evolution over the next few years. Now, what at first seemed like a simple business move that wouldn’t affect us players is going to turn out to be. As much as to have to delete the current client that we have installed on our PlayStation.
Thus, Mediatonic has published an official note in which it has come to explain what the next steps will be that players will have to take to install Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout and, the first thing they have told us is that, unfortunately, they will not be able to distribute it as an update to the current client we play with. In other words, we will have to download it again from the official console store after deleting the Fall Guys that we have operating within our machine.
Obviously this is a serious problem because while many players will be aware of this procedure, others could be stuck and unable to access the game because they are trying from that client that will be obsolete as of April 9. From that date, any attempt to play through the old installation will be in vain, which could cause the surprise of many fans who will not understand why the game stops working from one day to the next.
They will compensate us with a little gift
This procedure that Epic Games and Mediatonic have decided to implement has the problem of the hassle of deleting and downloading the new client , especially in the case of those users with internet connections that are not particularly fast but, at least, in the end From the process we will have a reward within the game that will be in the form of a skin , a costume for one of our boys within Fall Guys .
That skin for the game will be that of the shark and, to redeem it and have it available within the game, you will simply have to download the new client from the PlayStation Store in the case of PS4 and PS5. Remember that, at the moment, both the Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions are still in the development process and with a view to a launch throughout this year. Surely by then we will already have the client well established and running smoothly on the machines of all Fall Guys fans.
