UPDATE 2 (3:30pm UK time): Fall Guys is officially live, but servers are proving a little inundated now the Americas are waking up. Here’s the official line from Mediatonic, and if you want a preview of what to expect, we have pages on Fall Guys patch notes and the Season 1 Battle Pass to keep you busy. UPDATE (9:30am UK time): And we are seemingly live! Despite Mediatonic not officially announcing it’s up, we are able to log in on PS4, Xbox and PC respectively. If you cannot log in yet, here’s the latest Fall Guys patch notes, the Season 1 Battle Pass, an explainer on Crowns and Crown Shards, and a new gameplay trailer for the season: ORIGINAL REPORT: Fall Guys Season 1: Free For All has a release date of June 21 on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. This is when the game will be going free-to-play, and sees the release of a bunch of new content, as well as tweaks to existing systems. Though the exact Fall Guys free-to-play launch time has yet to be announced by developer Mediatonic, the in-game counter for the current season to end is as follows:
UK: 1pm (BST / UK) Europe: 2pm (CEST / West Europe) East Coast US: 8am (EST / East Coast US) West Coast US: 5am (PST / West Coast US)
This tallies with previous updates, such as hotfixes or larger updates adding things like Jump Showdown, where Fall Guys tends to update in the afternoon UK time. Why is there no exact time? According to Mediatonic, they want to make sure “there are no gremlins in the system” first. Either way, it’s likely to be during UK working hours today, assuming it all goes smoothly.
