Fall Guys' First Post-Launch Patch Fixes Major Issues and Adds Fan-Favorite Level From Beta

Fall Guys will receive its first post-launch patch tomorrow, which will add a level featured in the beta as well as fix many issues and bugs. The new level is Jump Showdown, which is very similar to Jump Club; the survival game where you must jump over a rotating bar while avoiding getting knocked off the platform. Jump Showdown ups the challenge, adding falling platforms and another bar to avoid.  

We're about to drop a new level into rotation!!!

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/04/fall-guys-behind-the-schemes-video"] Fall Guys has seen an extreme level of popularity, especially after being featured as one of August's free PS Plus games. Companies like KFC and Walmart are trying to get in on the Fall Guys action, posting their own Fall Guys costume designs online. In our Fall Guys review, we say, "a collection of exciting minigames and a smattering of every colour under the rainbow makes Fall Guys a consistent delight, even if it can also be a frustrating one at times."
