Mediatonic announces Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will go free-to-play on June 21st, opening up the battle royale platformer to even the cheapest of skates. At that time the game will come to Xbox and Switch for the first time. Also, the Windows edition is moving to the Epic Games Store, something that became inevitable when Epic Games purchased Mediatonic parent Tonic Games Group. If you own the game on Steam you'll be fine going forward, but it will no longer be sold after the transition. To celebrate, Fall Guys Free For All Pre-Registration is underway, offering various in-game rewards for all players who sign up in advance. The news involves crossplay support, a new Season Pass, and a free legacy pack for those who already paid for the game. Here's the Fall Guys Free for All Announcement Stream and more:

Whether you’re on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, the Epic Games Store or a mix of all of the above, you’ll be able to play Fall Guys for free —with cross-play, cross-platform parties and cross-progression fully supported with the use of your Epic Games Account.

PlayStation™ and Steam™ players who already have a copy of Fall Guys will continue to receive all the usual updates (such as new seasons, patches and fresh features) that you’d expect. However, new players will no longer be able to download Fall Guys on Steam—if you’re new to Fall Guys and would like to play on PC, you can visit the Epic Games Store™ and download the launcher there. Wherever you choose to play Fall Guys (including Steam), you’ll be able to launch and stumble towards victory across platforms.

Also, big news for PlayStation 5 users: a super spectacular new version of Fall Guys will launch at the same time as the Nintendo Switch™, Xbox™ and Epic Games Store™ versions, bringing faster load times and other performance upgrades to your fabulous next-gen box of tricks.
