Fall Guys: Everything about multiplayer with friends, splitscreen, and local co-op

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a colorful and fun multiplayer game where cute potato creatures waddle through crazy obstacle courses. But how does the multiplayer part work? Can you play together with friends or locally in split-screen, and what about crossplay? You will find out all this and more here.

Playing Fall Guys with Friends – Here’s How

This is how you play as a team: You can compete in Fall Guys alone or as a team with up to 3 friends to fight for the crown. To do this, you just need to select your friends from your Steam or PlayStation list in the lobby.

• This works on PS4 with the triangle button, which opens the friends list. On PC, you press “P” for this.
• To make it work, ensure that you and all your teammates have set their status to “Ready”.
• If all this is fulfilled, you can start a game together and compete as a team.

What are the benefits of playing as a team? As a team, you compete together, but in the end, there can only be one winner. This means that you can still push each other around and hinder one another. And in the big race for the crown at the end, there can only be one winner even in a team.

Nevertheless, there are advantages to competing as a team. You can specifically push and troll other players. And in team mini-games, like egg hunt or football, you will always be assigned to the same team and can coordinate better.
