Is Fall Guys Cross-Platform? Cross-Play Guide (2025)

Few games have transformed as dramatically as Fall Guys did when it went free-to-play in June 2022 — not just in price, but in how players connect. This guide walks through exactly how cross-play works, how to set it up, and how to invite friends on any platform.

Full cross-platform support: Yes (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch) ·
Requires Epic Games Account: Yes ·
Free-to-play since: June 21, 2022 ·
Cross-progression: Yes (via Epic Games Account)

Six key facts define the current state of Fall Guys cross-play — from developer to pricing to progression.

Is Fall Guys cross-platform?

Yes — Fall Guys fully supports cross-platform play across PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Players on any of those platforms can match, compete, and party together when cross-platform matchmaking is enabled. The feature was introduced alongside the game’s transition to free-to-play in Season 6 on June 21, 2022, as confirmed by Fall Guys Official News, the game’s publisher blog.

The pattern: Cross-platform matchmaking treats all linked consoles equally, erasing platform boundaries for players who link a free Epic Games Account.

Which platforms support cross-play?

• PC: Steam, Epic Games Store
• PlayStation: PS4, PS5
• Xbox: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
• Nintendo: Switch

All combinations work: a Steam player can queue with a PS5 player, an Xbox One player can race a Switch player, and so on. The Wikipedia cross-platform games list (community-maintained reference) also includes Fall Guys as a title supporting cross-play across these platforms.

Do I need an Epic Games Account?

Yes. Linking an Epic Games Account is mandatory for cross-play and cross-progression. According to Fall Guys Official News, the publisher’s announcement, “Epic Games Accounts became required in Season 6 for cross-platform progression features.” Without linking, you can still play, but only with players on the same platform as yours. The first platform you link becomes your primary profile, carrying costumes, nameplates, and Fame Path progress across all linked platforms.

The implication: cross-play in Fall Guys is free but not account-free. Every player who wants to party with friends on other consoles or PCs must create a free Epic Games Account and connect it to each platform they use.

Can an Xbox and PS4 play together?

Yes — Xbox One and PS4 can play Fall Guys together without any special workaround. Cross-play works across all console generations: Xbox One with PS4, Xbox Series X|S with PS5, and every other combination between Xbox and PlayStation. The feature is built into the game and requires only that each player has an Epic Games Account linked to their console. Fall Guys Official News (the official development team) stated that “players linking an Epic Games Account to Fall Guys can carry their content across platforms” — and the cross-play matchmaking treats all linked consoles equally.

Can Xbox One and PS4 play Fall Guys together?

Yes. No additional steps beyond linking your Epic Games Account. Once linked, cross-platform matchmaking (enabled by default) allows Xbox One and PS4 players to appear in the same lobbies. A YouTube tutorial (player community guide) demonstrates that disabling cross-platform matchmaking is optional but can lengthen queue times.

Can Xbox Series X|S and PS5 play together?

Yes, exactly the same principle. The current-gen consoles are fully cross-compatible with each other and with last-gen systems. No platform-specific settings needed beyond the account link.

What this means: Any console pair works without extra toggles, but the older hardware may affect loading speed.

How to cross-play Xbox and PS5 Fall Guys?

Setting up cross-play between Xbox and PS5 takes two steps: linking your Epic Games Account on each console and then letting the game handle the rest. No in-game toggle is needed — cross-platform matchmaking is enabled automatically once accounts are linked.

How to enable cross-play on Xbox

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, go to Settings > Account > Linked social accounts.
2. Select “Link” next to Epic Games — you’ll be directed to a browser to sign in or create an account.
3. Once linked, launch Fall Guys. Cross-play is active by default.

Alucare.fr (game guide blog) also mentions that a web activation flow via epicgames.com/activate may appear during linking — this is standard and requires entering a code shown on your Xbox.

How to enable cross-play on PS5

1. Go to Settings > Account Management > Link with Other Services.
2. Select Epic Games and sign in to your Epic account.
3. Open Fall Guys. Cross-play is now live.

If you previously played Fall Guys on PS5 without an Epic Account, the game will prompt you to link the next time you log in. According to Fall Guys Official News (the game’s publisher), the platform you link first becomes your primary profile — so choose the one with your most progress.

The pattern: Linking is a one-time setup on each console; after that cross-play happens in the background.

How to invite cross-play friends in Fall Guys

Fall Guys uses the Epic Games friends list, not platform-specific friends lists. This means you add friends by their Epic Display Name, not their Xbox Gamertag or PSN ID. The process is the same whether you’re on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.

Adding friends via Epic Games Display Name

1. In the main menu, open the social panel (the friends icon).
2. Select “Add Friend” and type your friend’s Epic Display Name exactly.
3. Your friend must have their Epic Games Account linked to their platform to receive the request.
4. Once accepted, the friend appears in your friends list.

A community tutorial on YouTube (player guide) shows the flow: the friend search uses the Epic ID, not the platform username.

Inviting to a party

1. Open your friends list from the social panel.
2. Click the invite button next to any online friend.
3. They’ll receive a party invite — up to four players can squad up for shows.

Your party can include players on any combination of platforms. If a friend isn’t appearing, double-check they have cross-platform matchmaking enabled and that both of you have the latest game update installed.

The catch: The Epic Display Name is the key — platform usernames won’t work for adding friends cross-platform.

Is Fall Guys available on mobile?

No. Fall Guys is not available on iOS or Android devices. Fall Guys Official News (the developer Mediatonic) has made no announcement regarding a mobile version. Cross-play therefore does not include mobile platforms because the game is simply not released there.

Will Fall Guys come to mobile?

There is no official information about a mobile port. While Epic Games has invested in mobile versions of other titles like Fortnite and Rocket League Sideswipe, Fall Guys has not been confirmed for mobile. Until an announcement is made, cross-play remains limited to PC and console ecosystems.

Timeline: How cross-play arrived

• August 4, 2020: Fall Guys launches as a paid title with no cross-play or cross-progression. Each platform’s player base is entirely separate (community-maintained reference).
• June 21, 2022: Fall Guys goes free-to-play and introduces cross-play, cross-platform parties, and cross-progression via Epic Games Account linking. The update coincides with Season 6, as detailed by Fall Guys Official News (the publisher’s announcement).

The two-year gap between launch and cross-play illustrates how much the game’s architecture changed. Before the update, Mediatonic had to manage separate matchmaking servers per platform; after linking with Epic’s backend, a single account layer made universal play feasible.

Clarity check

The implication: Users can trust the confirmed facts, but should watch for future updates on regional and platform expansion.

What players are saying

“Fall Guys cross-platform progression means you can carry your content across platforms by linking an Epic Games Account.”

— Fall Guys Official News (Mediatonic)

“Your primary profile is set on the platform where you first link your Epic Games Account.”

— Fall Guys Official News (Mediatonic)

“Fall Guys supports cross-platform play across all supported platforms when cross-platform matchmaking is enabled.”

— Epic Games Help Center (technical support)

The takeaway from both official sources is consistent: linking an Epic Games Account unlocks every cross-play feature, and the first linked platform becomes the keeper of your progress.

Summary

Fall Guys has evolved from a platform-locked party game into a genuinely universal experience. The June 2022 update broke down the walls between PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC players — but it came with a single catch: a free Epic Games Account is non-negotiable. For anyone with friends across different consoles or PC, the choice is clear: link your Epic account, enable cross-platform matchmaking, and invite using Epic Display Names. Without that account, you’re stuck in a single-platform silo. For the millions of players who already use Epic accounts for Fortnite or Rocket League, it’s a seamless addition. For newcomers, it’s a five-minute setup that unlocks the full social potential of Fall Guys.
