Fall Guys is officially going free-to-play in the coming month alongside new releases for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. Developer Mediatonic promised just a few short days ago that it would have some massive news associated with Fall Guys to share to kick-off this week. And while it seemed likely that a launch date for new platforms would finally be coming about, this shift to a free-to-play model is perhaps the most shocking news.

Fall Guys Is Going Free-to-Play
As of next month on June 21st, Fall Guys will become free to download and play for players across all platforms. In addition, this same date will also mark the title's arrival on Xbox, Switch, and Epic Games Store platforms. Mediatonic confirmed early in 2021 that it was planning to bring Fall Guys to new consoles in 2022, but news on this front has been quiet for quite some time. Finally, though, Xbox and Switch owners have a hard date to circle on the calendar when it comes to now being able to play Fall Guys.

Fall Guys support
Likely the best part of this announcement though is that Fall Guys will support both cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms. This means that not only will you be able to play with your friends who might have Fall Guys for another platform, but you'll also be able to transfer your own progress between systems. So if you primarily play Fall Guys on Xbox but then decide you want to take the game on the go with your Nintendo Switch, you'll be able to retain access to all of your crowns, skins, and other items.
Mediatonic
Lastly, Mediatonic has also confirmed that players who have already purchased Fall Guys prior to this free-to-play shift will be able to earn a "Legacy Pack" in the coming month. This bundle will contain not only new skins but a Season Pass for the future. So in short, pretty much everyone should be pleased with today's new announcement.
PROS
Diving seems to be an overlooked button in this game, but this skill is very useful in crucial situations. Jumping from a great height or onto a spinning platform can knock your Fall Guy over, so if you perform a dive immediately at that moment, your Fall Guy will get up so much more quickly.
CONS
This skill’s importance grows significantly when you’re handling some minigames such as Fruit Chute or Dizzy Heights'. A jump and dive can provide you a small burst of speed when you are near the finish line, enabling a perfect chance to become the ultimate champion of the battle.
