Update 24/08: The “Spicy Hot Fix” update 1.06 for Fall Guys is live, despite being expected for later in the week. All of the patch notes we posted last night still apply and can be found below, except for a tweak to the player spectating sorting.
We said yesterday that it might take a week – but SURPRISE
We're releasing HOTFIX 2 right now!
Unfortunately, one fix (Spectating team mates first) has been pushed back into the next update, as it wasn't quite ready yet, but we didn't want to delay this whole patch!

The original post follows
A “Spicy Hot Fix” update is in the works for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, the cute and cuddly Battle Royale game that has taken the world of gaming by storm over the last month. Expected to drop sometime this week, it’s all about making minor tweaks and updates, as opposed to adding new rounds and game modes like the last update did.
Team mode dislikers will be glad to see that these modes will only trigger if team sizes can be equal, and party players will find it easier to watch their chums should they get knocked out. There’s also a handful of tweaks for exploits and crashes, and Yellow Team is no longer nerfed (we think this one’s a joke).
Here’s the full patch notes:
Fall Guys 1.06 ‘Spicy Hot Fix’ patch notes
- Tweaked round selection algorithm to select a Team game only if the team sizes can be equal
- Party members are now sorted first in spectator mode – Note: This has been delayed to the next update
- (PS4 Only) Added Controller options, including invert X/Y axis and sensitivity settings
- Slime Climb: players can no longer grab some of the moving obstacles
- Jump Showdown: changed geometry to prevent a gameplay exploit
- Jump Showdown: fixed camera auto-panning
- Improved in-game store purchase dialog to avoid accidental selections
- Addressed the top 5 most frequent crashes
- Visual fixes to some of the outfits
- (PS4 Only) Improved UI performance on non-Pro PS4 models
- Added option to change the jump button binding for Japan
- Trophy/Achievement names and descriptions are now correctly displayed in all supported languages
- Removed move speed nerf from Yellow Team (Don’t post this one)
This isn’t the only news for Fall Guys fans this week, as it’s been revealed that a sneak preview of Season Two of the game will be shown on the opening night of Gamescom’s digital showcase. Keep a beady eye out at 7PM BST if you’re planning to tune in.
Fall Guys is great and all….but what if I told you there is @FallGuysGame: Season 2! ? ??
Don't miss the world premiere sneak peek from @Mediatonic during @gamescom Opening Night Live.

Fall Guys has been an absolute sensation for the team at developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital, with the companies revealing that they’ve sold over 2 million copies on Steam in the game’s first week. That’s before you take into account however many people have been playing via PlayStation 4, where it’s free on PlayStation Plus in August. However, that has also led to some major server issues around launch, with an entire day being effectively wiped out on Friday, as they shored up the servers and added capacity ahead of the weekend. Thankfully things have been fairly steady since then.
We posted our Fall Guys review earlier this month, saying:
Full of cute and cuddly jelly beans bumbling into each other in a race for the crown, Fall Guys is just about the most wholesome battle royale imaginable, and a whole lot of fun.
Fall Guys is out now for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam.
