Devolver Digital and developer Mediatonic have announced multiplayer party game Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has sold 2 million copies on Steam.
The game launched on August 4th, and in almost one week since launch, with the game being Steam’s top seller since then. The feat is somewhat impressive, considering the game is free through August on PlayStation 4 though PS Plus. Other facts that were revealed include 1.5 million crowns grabbed, 60 million Fall Guys fallen, and 23 million hours watched on Twitch.
The game has been more popular than the developers expected, with the Steam store page having the notice “We underestimated the number of jellybeans in the jar. We’re working hard to increase server capacity but please be aware that matchmaking may be up and down during the launch window.”
Thanking fans on Steam, Mediatonic explained they will be offering players an in-game reward as compensation for the inconvenience. “We’re still working out what this will be exactly, and the technical side of gifting it to you all, but we’ll have more details on that soon.”
