The Fall Guys‘ developer, Mediatonic, revealed in November 2021 that season six of the battle royale game would introduce a cross-platform progression between PlayStation 4 and Steam and that every player will need to create or sign in to an Epic Games account and link it with Fall Guys to play the game.

The requirement comes eight months after Epic acquired Mediatonic’s parent company, Tonic Games. The Fall Guys profile you link to an Epic Games account will instantly become your primary profile, so if you play on more than one platform, you’ll have to choose one to carry over your Fame Path level progress, Crowns, Shards, and Kudos.

Now that the game has gone free-to-play and launched on new platforms like Xbox and Switch, an Epic Games account is now a necessity to maintain your progression across platforms.

If you happen to have linked the wrong primary profile, you must get in touch with Fall Guys‘ player support as soon as you can so the support team can switch your account to the primary profile of your choice. You can only request it once, though.

If you haven’t linked your Fall Guys account to an Epic Games account, you will be prompted to do so the next time you log in.

Otherwise, you can log in to your Epic Games account on the company’s website, and connect your preferred Fall Guys platform to your account. You can do this by signing in, going to Account, then Connections, then choosing your preferred account.

If you wish to start playing Fall Guys on another platform, log in with your Epic Games account when you first open the game on the new platform.
