However, Kudos is staying, and all players will be able to earn it and spend it in the shop. You can also exchange your Crowns for Kudos.<\/p>\n<p>The game has also been re-confirmed for a Switch release, alongside Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation, also on June 21st. There will be cross-platform multiplayer and cross-progression.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the details for the Switch version:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Handheld is 30FPS and 720p<\/li>\n<li>Docked is 30FPS and 1080p<\/li>\n<li>You can use both Joy-Con and the Pro Pad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PS4 has a new version of Fall Guys available to download right now, which players will <em>have<\/em> to grab if they want to keep playing.

However, we saw the three-piece dragon and the Golden Gladiator, as well as Blast Balls, a new sport to play with pals.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture ptris\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/9a86035c09944\/pusheen.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Pusheen\"><\/figure>\n<p>There are also some new IP collabs upcoming:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ezio<\/li>\n<li>Pusheen<\/li>\n<li>Three Godzillas (Godzilla, Mothra, Mecha-Godzilla)<\/li>\n<li>New IP levels (which they can&#8217;t talk about yet)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>And<\/em> a new Level Creator Mode, too, which is &#8220;under construction&#8221; and will come to Fall Guys in the future \u2014 but it&#8217;s still a &#8220;fair way off&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture ptris\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNTA2Ij48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f9fa3e72c1b40\/free.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Free\"><\/figure>\n<p>So, to recap:<\/p>\n<p>Fall Guys comes to Switch on June 21st, with cross-play, cross-progression, and cross-platform matches. It&#8217;s going free-to-play, but players who&#8217;ve already paid for it will receive a Legacy Pack for free, with costumes and a Premium Season Pass. It&#8217;ll be 30FPS\/720p in handheld and 30FPS\/1080p in docked, and you can look forward to more content coming later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Phew<em>. That was exhausting. We can&#8217;t imagine how the Fall Guys team must feel, although we presume it&#8217;s some variant of &#8220;sleepy&#8221;. Will you be getting Fall Guys on Switch?
