Mediatonic's knockabout battle royale title Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is now the most-downloaded PlayStation Plus game of all time. Sony says this statistic applies globally, so it's not just based on individual territories around the world.
What PlayStation Plus games has Fall Guys beaten?
This news comes via a tweet posted on the official PlayStation Twitter account. In the tweet, Sony congratulates developer Mediatonic on having the most-downloaded PlayStation Plus game of all time on a global basis. The news is accompanied by a GIF of one of Fall Guys' characters performing a victory dance. No doubt Mediatonic will be overjoyed by their game's achievement on Sony's platform. Fall Guys' PlayStation Plus success means it's beaten reliable performers like Call of Duty and Sonic Forces, as well as stalwarts like multiplayer "soccer" game Rocket League.

Since its release earlier this month, Fall Guys has been a media sensation. The game managed to hit 1.5 million players in its first 24 hours and sold 2 million copies on Steam within its first week of release. Despite early issues pertaining to server capacity, it looks like Mediatonic has a genuine, bona fide hit on its hands. The PlayStation Plus feat is even more impressive when considering that many PS Plus titles are triple-A monsters, so a humble, colorful battle royale indie like Fall Guys beating them to the top spot is a remarkable achievement indeed. Mediatonic says it had "no idea just how big the game would be".
Yo, remember when we were saying we had no idea just how big the game would be at launch?
