It is not strange to see how the video game industry becomes the parable of David against Goliath more times than one is capable of counting: while the large multinationals launch million-dollar bets in the form of mammoth video games, from time to time an indie sneaks in among the list of the most played titles of a specific era. And, precisely, this is what has happened recently in relation to Fall Guys.
I don’t know if we could consider Fall Guys like a standalone game, actually. Especially since, despite the fact that it was born as an indie, its managers were bought by Epic Games just a few months ago. Be that as it may, all this should not detract from the success that it has been one of the biggest surprises for many people of the last year 2022; something that is reflected in the data that PlayStation has published a few minutes ago through its official website.

Why has Fall Guys triumphed over Fortnite and Warzone?
- We must not forget the great work that those responsible for Fall Guys they are doing with the game: they update it frequently and celebrate crossovers with other franchises every two by three ✅
- Although Fortnite is still a very big game in terms of numbershas been losing more and more strength since Chapter 3 was released a year ago ❌
- Secondly, Warzone was fatally affected by the launch of Caldera and it doesn’t seem like its sequel can go back to the initial good course of the franchise either ❌
