Fall Guys is the most downloaded PS Plus game of all time

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has become the most downloaded PS Plus title ever, Sony has confirmed. 

While not confirming exactly how many downloads it equates to, Sony announced Fall Guys has toppled all other past PS Plus titles in total downloads globally.

While most titles are made available to PS Plus subscribers long after they go on general release, Fall Guys emulated Rocket League’s successful strategy of starting out for free on the service - riding the wave of fresh interest to accumulate a huge player base.

The game itself has become a huge success largely because of it, becoming one of the most played games on Twitch and igniting social media with their excellent Twitter presence.
