I tried to see if there was a real response here, but every short article I discovered was more or less “we dont know!” however there is a most likely response after all, I think.
When is Fall Guys coming to Xbox One?

Its concern that gets spammed in chat, on social media, practically at any time Fall Guys appears. With the video game an enormous hit on PC and PS4, why isnt Fall Guys on Xbox One yet? When is it coming?
Initially, Fall Guys has actually heard everybodys feedback. They understand that individuals desire to see the video game on Xbox One, and this is their action to that:
While yes, its real that Fall Guys being totally free on PS Plus still would have been a better deal than say, being $20 on Xbox at launch this month, it stands to reason that one of the specifications for snagging one of the hugely sought after PS Plus game features (specifically for a smaller game) was that no, the game could not appear on Xbox. Maybe just for this very first month, maybe for longer, its tough to inform. Yes, Fall Guys was revealed as a “console unique” for PS4 way back when. Those offers are typically timed.
This was a month ago however “no strategies” doesnt sound extremely appealing, even if they declare to desire to be on the platform. Its not like it would take some enormous quantity of technical work to make an Xbox variation of the video game compared to a PS4 version, however theyre not confirming theyre doing that yet.
Why?
The reason is likely their PS Plus deal with Sony this month.
The Fall Guys team talked about a PS4 reddit AMA simply how important the PS Plus function was to them, and why they pursued it so hard:
Rocket League
Psyonix
The Rocket League contrast is dead on, as whole gaming empires like that series have been formed out of a PS Plus function, and thats what Fall Guys was attempting to do with their own function. Yes, even if it was part of the offer that the video game could not appear on Xbox One during the PS Plus function (or longer) it was practically definitely worth that expense with how much the game has actually blown up.
Eventually Rocket League made it to Xbox One, and we can look at that video game to think how long it may take Fall Guys to do the exact same.
” Sony was actually enthusiastic about the video game when we revealed them an early version of it, and we felt that taking this route would assist expose the video game to a far larger audience than we might have reached on our own. Also, its something that worked super well for Rocket League which has been one of our inspirations.”
It came to Xbox One February 2016. Again, its not clear if that was a “necessary” waiting period for the port at the expense of a PS Plus feature, or if its simply how long it took for the designer to get around to it. My guess is no, Fall Guys may not be coming to Xbox One (or Switch, for that matter) for a while.
