Fall Guys, the cutesy battle royale inspired by knockout game shows, is coming to PlayStation 4 on 4th August. This is obviously great news -- we've been extremely curious to play this madcap multiplayer title ever since it was announced last year. 60 players duke it out online in a series of different rounds, with each obstacle course or mini game eliminating a handful of contestants until just one winner remains. It's a great concept, and just looks like dumb fun.
Anyway, the official Twitter account for the game recently stated that PlayStation fans will be getting some "exciting news in the coming weeks", going on to describe it as "very spicy".
There are a couple of possibilities here. The first is that PS4 players who pre-order the game might get a platform-exclusive in-game outfit. We say this because those who pre-order on Steam are getting an exclusive (and adorable) Gordon Freeman costume. Maybe we'll be able to dress our fall guys up as Kratos, or something.
Another possibility is that Fall Guys will be launching as a PlayStation Plus game, à la Rocket League. The 4th August is the first Tuesday of next month, which is when new PS Plus titles become freely available to members. Given that this is when the game launches, its highly multiplayer-focused nature, and PlayStation's renewed interest in indie games, we think this makes a ton of sense.
We don't know for sure, though -- we'll have to wait and see what this spicy news turns out to be. The game arrives in a few weeks, so we won't be in the dark for long. Would you like to see Fall Guys launch as a PS Plus game to maximise the player base? What else could this news be? Discuss in the comments section below.

It could also mean that they include it in PS Now, could it not? Firstly because they said that one extra Indie Game will be added from now on and because the new PS Now Games are always announced on the first Tuesday of the month
Psplus or psnow would be fantastic. Love couch coop games like these.
@IonMagus Also possible, yes!
Won't be for PS Now, the service isn't in enough markets, it would be rather unpopular with those countries missing out...
A pre-order outfit sounds reasonable. I'd be up for an adorable Aloy outfit.
@knight_spg I mean those who cant access PS Now can just buy it in the Store lol. Gamepass issnt available everywhere too but they add 3rd Party Games Day One all the time. If Sony wants to have any chance with competion against GP they have to start doing that anyway
Plus would be greaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Probably a costume or a handful of those...don't expect them to give this one free but I could be wrong
Making an announcement like that i think would be deemed more to playstation getting ahead of xbox in some senses with playing it.
I generally don't like multiplayer games, but something like this could be fun. Yeah love to see it on Plus.
Well, Shuhei was on the Devolver Digital Direct for the Fall Guys section.
A free game will guarantee a download from me- at least
Ps+ would be awesome but I dont know what that has to do with 'spicy'?
It would be really sweet.
Looks like the first battle royale game I would download
Maybe I've got a one-tracked mind, but new PS related outfit, cross-play, PS Plus & PS Now don't sound very 'spicy' to me & looking at the screenshot above it doesn't look like the type of game that includes any titillation or fan service.
Therefore, as Hoffa007 says above - could be some sort of exclusivity deal, in which case 'spicy' is not the word most Xboxers will probably use if they were looking forward to playing the game on release etc
I'll be buying this anyway as it looks like a ton of fun but free with PS Plus would be great!
