Fall Guys is by far the biggest summer hit in the video games world.<\/p>\n

A small indie game coming from Mediatonic, a studio previously known mostly for web games, quickly became a huge commercial success, and it has been garnishing praise from both fans and critics alike.<\/p>\n

The game has become the most downloaded monthly PS Plus game of all time<\/a>, and it has sold over 7 million copies on Steam in less than a month since the release.<\/p>\n

The overwhelming popularity of the game at first caught the British studio off guard, but they quickly adapted to this new situation and are working smart to capitalise on it, with the announcement of Fall Guys Season 2<\/a>, and other things.<\/p>\n

The big popularity comes with a lot of positive things, but naturally some not so desirable as well.<\/p>\n

The rule as old as competitive games – if something is popular, there will be cheaters playing it. And with Fall Guys it’s no different. <\/p>\n

The Fall Guys Twitter account shared a story today which they kept secret for some time. It’s a story about their secret efforts to deal with the cheaters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After we confirmed that it was working – We secretly launched<\/p>\n

Fall Guys Cheater Island™<\/p>\n

It was a magical place where cheaters could happily compete against themselves for the Cheater’s Crown*<\/p>\n

*Literally just a normal crown but tainted with a hollow feeling of guilt and regret<\/p>\n

What is the Fall Guys anti-cheat system?<\/h2>\n

They explained that at launch, they had some of their own cheat detection built into the game, but they weren’t banning anyone, they just used it to collect data.<\/p>\n

They wanted to be 100% sure they are only catching the real cheaters, and that the system won’t falsy flag someone who is not a cheater.<\/p>\n

And when they were 100% sure that is works as it should, they secretly launched what they call “Fall Guys Cheater Island”.<\/p>\n

It’s basically a separate matchmaking server only for cheaters, and their threshold was originally really tolerant – they were catching cheaters, but they did nothing in order not to alarm them.<\/p>\n

And then they slowly started lowering the threshold until the population of cheaters slowly started to rise, because you need 40+ players to populate a game, and Cheater Island has its own set of global servers.<\/p>\n

The problem was that if there were not enough cheaters for the match, the cheaters would just be falling forever and so cheaters started reporting that their game was “broken”, but in reality, they were on Cheater Island.<\/p>\n
