Fall Guys tournaments keep running, and they're drawing a decent number of viewers as the game became free to play in June. We previously covered the increase in Fall Guys' viewership statistics after the game switched to F2P. But the game, however, is slowly losing popularity on Twitch.
In July, the category's broadcasts on Twitch were watched by 60.5K AV, but by October that number dropped by more than 3.5 times. Game's HW number dropped by 73% over the same period. At the same time, Fall Guys was close to ranking in the Top 10 most-watched categories on the platform in July, but is now below the Top 20. Considering the negative trend, we should hardly expect any major tournaments in the game in the near future.
