Immediately after the first release, Fall Guys, of course, saw a decline in the player population after launch for most online games. However, since it was re-released as a free play title in late June, it has seen a major resurgence and its number continues to grow.
After the re-release, the game reached 50 million players in two weeks, according to a tweet from Fall Guys. This is an impressive increase from the first week as a free-to-play title. I saw 20 million players in 48 hours..

The increase in players is primarily due to the new Fall Guys model. The game switched to a completely free Battle Pass model on June 21, almost two years after its first release.
Players have the option of paying a Season Pass and other colorful cosmetics, but the base game is now free for the first time (although it’s no longer included in Steam and has moved to Epic Games Launcher).
