Beginning marketing projections for Fall Guys are in, and they show that Mediatonic’s hit multiplayer party game has just amassed an immense community.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is taking the gaming world by storm. Reports of congestion on Fall Guys’ servers due to popular demand speak for themselves although Sony has not released any sales data on the popular PlayStation Indie yet. However, developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital have released the PC sales figures, and they reveal the depth of the party game-like battle royale’s success.
Fall Guys has amassed a player base of over 2 million people in the six days since its debut according to a press release from the two companies. Fall Guys was already devolver Digital’s biggest Steam launch ever. The press release now also says that it is also Mediatonic’s most successful title as well. Fall Guys players have grabbed 1.5 million crowns according to the publisher. 60 million characters have fallen during the fights to be the last Fall Guy standing. Devolver Digital also celebrated the game’s runaway popularity on Twitch, where it has amassed 23 million hours of watch time. Mediatonic’s Chief Games Officer and co-founder, Paul Croft, called the developers’ reaction to the game’s first week “overwhelming and humbling.” Many fans attempted to speculate about the battle royale’s success. One player estimated that the 2 million Steam copies alone could have earned Mediatonic and Devolver Digital $31,980,000, while others guessed that there were still 4 to 5 million players on the PlayStation 4 that were still unaccounted for. While many players mentioned how happy they were to see an indie game flourish, others pointed out that the Steam sales milestone was only a small sign of Fall Guys’ massive popularity, since Sony has not revealed how large the PS4 player base is.
Hopefully, Mediatonic can complete Fall Guys’ first season on a high note and proceed with the game’s force, which is going as quick as a stone thundering down the slope towards a player’s bean character. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available for PS4 and PC.
