Fall Guys is currently the biggest game on Twitch at the moment and the third most-played game on Steam, making it the publisher Devolver Digital’s biggest launch ever.
As reported by our friends on PC Gamer, ahead of Fall Guys, was Devolver’s previously biggest game by player count on Steam SCUM, which garnered a bit of shame from 68,000 players when it launched in 2018.
Fall Guys, however – despite the server problems that corrupted its launch – has already peaked at 124,772 competing players on PC on Steam, making it the third largest game by player count behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2.
At the time of writing, it is also the biggest game on Twitch by viewer count with 251,000 viewers, second only in the generic all-encompassing category, “Just Chatting”. This means that currently more people are watching Fall Guys on Twitch than any other game in the world, including Fortnite, GTA V, and League of Legends.
Fall Guys had a great first week, including recording more than 1.5 million players on their first day and Chuck E. Cheese after stream the game on its official Twitch account. Mediatonic has already pledged plans to keep Fall Guys fresh with new modes and features.
Developer Mediatonic is working hard to strengthen the servers for the weekend, but as Jordan reported yesterday, in case you find yourself with your thumb in the long queues, Fall Store Guys from Dollar Store, made in Dreams PS4, resembles a maintainable stopgap.
Look at us Fall Guys interview to find out how the developers created “the perfect mix of chaos and skill”.
