Battle Royale Platformer Stumble Guys Is Now in Open Beta on PS5, PS4

If you’re a big fan of the highly entertaining Fall Guys, you might be interested in this other battle royale platformer. Stumble Guys is a free-to-play knockout party game that bears a lot of similarities to Mediatonic’s smash hit title, but has its own set of rounds to enjoy and crossover updates. If you’re curious to see what it’s like, you’re in luck: an open beta is now available on PS5 and PS4.

You can download the beta right now — just search for it on the PS Store — and it runs until 30th April 2024, so there’s plenty of time to hop in. The gameplay will be familiar to any Fall Guys players — you join a game of up to 32 players, and are placed in randomly selected rounds that include obstacle courses, water slides, survival challenges, and more. Each round eliminates some players until the last one decides the victor.

Having taken it for a very quick spin, its presentation is somewhat lacklustre, but the rounds themselves are entertaining in much the same way as Fall Guys. It has a similar clumsy charm, though is inescapably derivative.
