Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout exploded upon release, with apparently everyone in the gaming world playing or talking about it. That’s a feel-good story I once saw, except for the fact that its popularity meant that the game’s servers were crammed under pressure. Server issues have continued throughout the launch week, but now that things have settled down, developer Mediatonic is thanking players for warming up to the storm.
On Twitter, the official Fall Guys account announced that anyone who opened the game before midnight on August 13 would receive 5,000 kudos – Fall Guys‘faluta in game – along with a special cactus-themed skin. The skin, says Mediatonic, is a variation on another costume made by the winner of a contest in February. Each month, a new, well-developed skin will be introduced to the game.
While we fought last week to keep the servers up and running, we promised that we would find a way to compensate the community for being so great and to carry us!

Mediatonic also announced a hype even further Fall Guys crossover. While many brands are currently asking to be included in the hot new game, Valve will get the honor by adding a Team Fortress 2 Scout skin. The costume, which dries bones with the iconic red shirt and black hat, will go on sale through Steam on Thursday.
The add-on comes on the heels of a Half-Life-inspired headcrab skin that was given to anyone who pre-ordered Fall Guys on Steam, along with an Alyx skin that could be claimed by players who received a win before the official release. Fall Guys has also collaborated Hotline Miami developer Dennaton Games via a skin that players lose a letterman jacket.
Earlier in August, Fall Guys also got a patch that added a level of the game’s beta, along with a few game fixes – including a ban wave for cheaters who ruined the game by hacks.
