Fall Guys uses Fortnite to announce Free-to-Play arrival on Xbox, Nintendo Switch
Fall Guys has announced its plans to move forward as a free-to-play game today, using a special Fortnite in-game theatre to do so.
The announcement to go free-to-play, which has been rumoured for weeks, could be watched inside Fortnite using the “Fall Guys - The BIG Announcement” playlist. Although the announcement video itself didn't mention a crossover with Fortnite, the team did state that more collaborations are coming soon.
The video revealed that Fall Guys would be coming to Xbox, Nintendo Switch and the Epic Games Store in five weeks, with both cross platform play and cross progression enabled. Those who previously purchased the game on PlayStation or PC through Steam will receive a free Legacy Pack, which contains multiple exclusive cosmetics and Kudos to spend in-game.
Fall Guys is going free-to-play on June 21st! It's also coming to Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and the Epic Games Store.
