Fall Guys Mobile seems like a no brainer at this point. And as luck would have it, there is one in development. However, before you rush over to the App Store orGoogle Play Storeto download it, Fall Guys Mobile is only planned for China as it stands. Any other Fall Guys mobile games you come across aren’t legit, and are simply trying to cash in on the game’s popularity, so bear that in mind.
That doesn’t mean we won’t get a mobile version of Fall Guys in other countries in the near future. The game has been such a runaway success that developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver will want to cash in as much as possible while the going’s good. And after achieving seven million sales onSteamand becoming the most downloadedPS Plus gameof all time, the going is certainly good.

Fall Guys Mobile hasn’t been released yet, but the game is only coming to China as it stands.

The game is likely to play and look a bit different from the console and PC version of Fall Guys, but the winning formula of playing as a bean-like character dressed as a pigeon should remain. With online play an important part of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, it will be interesting to see whether the player count is increased or decreased from the current 60 player total.
