For as much fun as Fall Guys is, there's the question of longevity. How is developer Mediatonic going to keep people coming back? The studio has already promised new rounds and additional content as time goes on, and the first big update is coming to the game tomorrow, 12th August.
Jump Showdown is a final round type level that was present in the beta but has been absent in the full release. From tomorrow, it will be added back into the fray. It's a lot like Jump Club, only floor segments will fall away until just a couple remain, and the game will keep going until a winner is decided.
It's not the only thing changing in the upcoming update. Some nasty bugs will be eradicated at last, including people being able to essentially skip the Block Party level. Patch notes shared below the above tweet include:
- Lowered the weighting for Royal Fumble to add more final round variation
- Fixed crash at launch with certain regional calendars set in the operating system
- Improved messaging for matchmaking and server errors
- Fixed physics behaving erratically at high framerate on levels like Tip Toe
- Fixed crown in Fall Mountain not being grabbable in rare situations
- Addressed some collisions in Block Party allowing players to bypass the blocks
- Fixed Parties sometimes failing due to too many requests
- Addressed some special characters causing display issues in player names
- Fixed Big Tease Achievement not unlocking in specific regions
- PC only - Fixed certain game controller models not being detected on PC
It's a solid first update for Fall Guys, then. Hopefully Mediatonic will be able to keep up with demand, continue to work on its servers, and introduce new stuff at a steady pace.

Oh man, it’s basically that round from Total Wipeout. This is what I like to see!
Fair play to the devs so far they have been flawless in their support- think they’ve been overwhelmed by it initially but really rose to the task
Superb, well done!
Really enjoying this, and PS+ too 😮
I’m glad the crown in fall mountain is a bug. I was denied my one and only victory yesterday when I couldn’t grab it, and at least now I can say it wasn’t down to my complete ineptitude.
That new level sure looks tricky, but rather fun.
Now to add split-screen multiplayer...
This is what I like to see. Preferably a new round every two weeks or so would surely keep me hooked.
Aww, I like Royal Fumble. Fall Mountain is the most boring last round. New one looks cool.
@AyanamiReign I'll gladly take Fall Mountain over the tail one any day. If the devs change it to where the winner is based on how many seconds they held the tail for, it would've been a lot better.
They need to add new levels on a very consistent basis. Team dodge ball, wind mechanics, gliding, swimming, projectiles. The potential is endless
@Mergatro1d I've just experienced the same. Could have sworn I grabbed it but went right through it.
Already content? Nice! Excited for this one! Game is so fun
Inverted Y axis would be nice. I cant play this game otherwise. I'm one of those saddly.....
@RinTohsaka Unfortunately that would just mean whoever started out wearing it would be the winner. It usually takes a bit for someone to snag it.
This game is making me want to get a new PS+ subscription. The more I see of it, the more I want to play it. Now this is the kind of multiplayer game I wanted!
@oats-81 I have always been an inverter since the beginning of time. Sworn by it for so many years, I couldn't play Crysis as it didn't give me the option as an example. This year though my brain has changed and I'm more happy using the default camera.
I think playing games with my daughter has done that. Also I can use both after a few seconds of working it out - even fps.
@Kyevo8814
Agree with the cheaters. Some of them fall over, then just keep on sliding across the floor at the same pace, as if they never fell.
Then there's the ones that seem to be as fast as cheetahs, apt really.
@RinTohsaka
True, I've held on to the tail for 5 seconds before the round ends, then someone takes it from me. 😢 5 seconds man!
@RenanKJ
My kids absolutely love it. I haven’t tried it yet but it does look fun at least for a time. It reminds me a little bit of Mario party games which I used to love as a kid.
@Steve30000 My strategy is to not bother with the game until the last 30 seconds tbh.
@Kyevo8814 I havent seen many cheaters only the sods on the finish line but thats just an extra challange for me lol
Seen one manage to jump on a wall to get away from the spinnig wall level (best description I got lol) but hey ho...really doesnt ruin the game unless you are desperate to win every single time....thats just a little sad...just have fun
@Kyevo8814 As a matter of fact...NO, theres actually a high percentage that play to have fun, play to be together with a family and maybe just enjoy it without the need to always win.
Whats sad is that you dont have that in your life.
Sorry to hear that ...mate
