Fall Guys faces online service issues following free to play launch

Yesterday, Fall Guys re-launched as a free to play game with full cross-platform play between Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC. Unfortunately, the move has not been entirely smooth, as online service issues have persisted since. 

Following complaints from players unable to find matches, Mediatonic confirmed that it is aware of online service issues in Fall Guys following the free to play launch. The issues persisted into the late hours of yesterday evening, causing issues finding matches. There were also issues with other areas of the game, such as the in-game store where players can obtain new costumes.

Mediatonic kept players updated and spirits high with some rather funny tweets on the situation last night and online services are starting to improve. The exact issue has not been disclosed at this time, but it is likely just a case of a rapid influx of players overwhelming the servers and breaking things along the way.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
