Fall Guys‘Total world domination continues through when Sony announced on Wednesday morning that the game has become the most downloaded PlayStation Plus title of all time.
The goofy and playful battle generous platformer, released earlier this month by UK studio Mediatonic, has almost as successful a hand in launching as an indie game can, blow to the top of the Steam charts on PC and enjoy which sounds like an unusual number of downloads on Sony’s PlayStation 4, where it’s available for free. The game’s official Twitter account has more than 1.2 million followers, and the game has been a constant on Twitch’s viewership charts. According to publisher Devolver Digital, the game has sold more than 7 million copies on PC.
Sony will not specify how many copies of the game have been downloaded, as this seems to be confidential information that may be useful to competitors. But Sony made a smart move when it secured a deal with Mediatonic to make the game a free PS Plus title at launch, meaning that anyone who pays for Sony’s annual subscription service (typically costs about $ 60 a year) the game can be downloaded free of charge by the end of August.
Sony made a similar deal with Psyonix’s Rocket League in 2015. That was another bad finding for the people of the developer relations at PlayStation, seen Rocket League ballooned in a massive financial success, a legitimate esports, and ultimately a cross-play trailblazer that Fortnite maker Epic Games acquired last year.
