Fall Guys Crossplay & Cross Progression Support

Fall Guys supports full crossplay across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, letting you play with friends on any platform, and cross progression is available through Epic Games accounts, syncing your crowns, costumes, and progress. This article explains exactly how crossplay and cross progression work, how to set them up, and what does not carry over between platforms.

What Crossplay Means in Fall Guys

Crossplay means players on different platforms can play together in the same match. In Fall Guys, crossplay is enabled by default and cannot be turned off. When you queue for a game, the matchmaking system pools players from all platforms—PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch—into the same lobbies. This applies to all core modes, including Solos, Squads, Duos, and limited-time shows.

If you are in a party with friends on different platforms, the game will match you together automatically. There is no separate crossplay toggle in the settings menu; it is always on. The only exception is that the game may prioritize lower-latency servers, so you might occasionally see more players from your own region, but the matchmaking pool is global.

How Cross Progression Works

Cross progression in Fall Guys is tied to your Epic Games account, not to a platform-specific account. When you link your console or PC account to an Epic Games account, all your progression—Show Bucks, crowns, Kudos, costumes, emotes, nameplates, and your rank in the Season Pass—is stored on the Epic profile. This means you can switch from PlayStation to PC, or from Switch to Xbox, and your items and progress will follow you.

To enable cross progression, you must link your platform account to the same Epic Games account on all devices. For example, if you play on PlayStation and link your PSN ID to Epic, then log into the same Epic account on your PC, your progress will sync. The game will ask you to sign in to Epic Games when you first launch it on a new platform. If you skip this step, you will be playing as a guest and your progress will not carry over.

Setting Up Cross Progression Step by Step

Here is how to link your accounts so cross progression works:

Go to the Epic Games website and sign in or create an Epic Games account.
In the account settings, select “Connections” and then “Accounts.”
Link your PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo Switch, and Steam accounts to the same Epic account. You can link multiple platforms to one Epic account.
Launch Fall Guys on each platform and sign in with the same Epic Games account when prompted.
Your progress will merge, and any items you earned on one platform will appear on all linked platforms.

Note that you can only link one console account of each type to a single Epic account. If you have two PlayStation accounts with Fall Guys progress, you cannot merge them into one Epic account; you would have to choose one.

What Does NOT Carry Over

While most progression carries over, there are a few platform-specific things that do not transfer:

Platform-exclusive costumes or items that were tied to a specific console promotion (e.g., a PlayStation Plus exclusive skin) may only appear on that platform.
In-game currency (Show Bucks) purchased on one platform cannot be spent on another platform, though the balance will show on all platforms. This is a common restriction in cross-progression games due to store policies.
Your in-game friends list and party invites are managed through the platform’s own system, so you cannot add a PC player as a friend from your Switch unless you use the in-game Epic friends list.

Common Crossplay and Cross Progression Issues

Players often run into a few problems when setting up crossplay or cross progression:

Progress not syncing: This usually happens because you are logged into a different Epic account on one platform. Double-check that you used the same Epic login on all devices.
Unable to join a party: Make sure all players have crossplay enabled (it is by default) and that you are all online. Sometimes a game update can temporarily break crossplay parties; restarting the game usually fixes it.
Missing items after linking: If you linked accounts after playing for a while, your progress should merge, but there can be a delay. Log out and back in, or wait a few minutes.
Show Bucks not shared: As mentioned, Show Bucks are platform-specific for spending. This is a known limitation, not a bug.

Crossplay vs. Cross Progression: Key Differences

Many players confuse the two terms. Crossplay is about playing together in the same match; cross progression is about carrying your progress across platforms. Fall Guys has both, but they work independently. You can play crossplay with friends even if you have not linked your accounts for cross progression. However, if you want your unlocks to follow you, you need to link your Epic account on each platform.

For example, you could play on your friend’s Xbox without linking your Epic account, but you would start from scratch on that Xbox. If you link your Epic account, you would have all your costumes and crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fall Guys crossplay between PC and PlayStation?

Yes, Fall Guys has full crossplay between PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 4/5. You can play together in the same lobbies and parties.

Does Fall Guys cross progression work between Steam and Epic Games?

Yes, if you link your Steam account to your Epic Games account, your progress will sync between the two PC platforms. However, you cannot have both Steam and Epic versions of the game on the same Epic account simultaneously; you must choose one.

Can I transfer my Fall Guys account from one platform to another?

You cannot transfer your account itself, but you can link your platform accounts to the same Epic account, which effectively merges your progress. If you want to move from PlayStation to PC, you link your PSN to Epic, then log into Epic on PC.

Why is my Fall Guys progress not showing on Switch?

This usually means your Switch is not linked to the same Epic Games account as your other platforms. Go to the Epic website, check your connections, and make sure your Nintendo account is linked.

Do I need an Epic Games account to play Fall Guys?

Yes, since the game went free-to-play in 2022, an Epic Games account is required to play on all platforms. This is what enables cross progression.

Can I play Fall Guys crossplay with friends on different regions?

Yes, you can party up with friends from other regions, but the game will use the host’s server region. You may experience higher latency if you are far apart.
