As Mediatonic, the indie developer behind this massive hit, is hard at working trying to polish the game even further, they have announced the first official patch coming to Fall Guys this 12th August.

The update will bring back a new minigame that's been absent since the beta Jump Showdown will be added to the rotation of over two dozen levels in Fall Guys.

That's not all that the patch will bring, as a plethora of bug and crash fixes will help give players a smoother experience. Some of the most important issues addressed include the crown bug robbing a handful of players from netting a victory.
