Fall Guys new update Patch Notes: 'Jump Showdown' added, bug fixes and more

Fall Guys Ultimate Knockdown is on its way to becoming the next big online multiplayer game. Since its release on August 4th, the game has already sold more than 2 million copies on Steam and has registered more than 23 million viewing hours on Twitch.

The game is pretty straightforward, and its players are supposed to complete mini-games in order to qualify for subsequent rounds.

While the initial buzz can already be seen, whether Fall Guys is able to maintain the same amount of growth in the next few months is still to be seen. Other factors, such as new updates and timely bug fixes, as always, will have a significant role in determining that.

On August 11th, the official Twitter account of Fall Guys announced a new update patch. In this article, we look at everything that has been added.

Fall Guys new update Patch Notes

The update was announced via the following tweet on August 11th, and added to the game the next day. As you can see, the highlight of the update is a new mini-map called ‘Jump Showdown’, which has been added to the game. In this game mode, players spawn on a circular platform with horizontal beams rotating over it.

Players need to duck or jump over the obstacles, and keep up with the changes. You can watch a clip of the mini-game in the tweet below.
