Fall Guys Switch is still in the works: Still, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is still one of the most popular “battle royale” games to play on PC and PS4. With the next-generation and Xbox versions still work on and with no word on the game’s Nintendo Switch port. Some owners of the Nintendo Switch may be getting impatient.
However, the developer of Fall Guys, Mediatonic, has gone on record to confirm that the Nintendo Switch version of the game is still on track, even though there’s nothing new to share on that front just yet. Switch owners hoping to play this strangely affable battle royale shouldn’t be too concerned about its eventual release, then.
This game was so popular in its heyday that it’s hard to put a number on how popular it was. Even Hollywood stars said it was their favorite video game. Tom Holland, for example, said that he liked Fall Guys.
That said, news about Fall Guys’ previously announced Nintendo Switch port was nowhere to find for quite some time now, which is likely what prompted the developer to mention that it still made.
One of the last official references to this version of the game was when Nintendo first announced that Fall Guys would be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2021. That was part of Nintendo’s February Direct episode at the time.
At the time, the Switch build suppose to be out sometime in the summer of 2021. But something has happened that has pushed it back by a lot.
The PS5 version of Fall Guys rumored to launch late in 2021. Only for those rumors to fall flat on their face, as appropriate as that seems to be for Fall Guys. When Fall Guys first came out, it only worked on PC and PlayStation 4.
It hasn’t worked on any other consoles. With Mediatonic assuring its fans that the game is still develop for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox One and Series consoles. It’s likely that some release dates, at least, will getting announced over the next couple of months.
In the meantime, Fall Guys is getting cross-platform functionality enabled for PC and PS4, bolstering its adequate player base by a fair margin. As for Nintendo Switch and Xbox owners, there’s nothing they can do at this point. However, Fall Guys can still play on PS5 thanks to the platform’s “backward compatibility.”
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available on PC and PlayStation 4. There are also versions for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation One, and Xbox Series in the works.
