GameSpot notes a press release, saying Fall Guys is the "most successful launch ever" for Devolver and Mediatonic given the sales level it has reached.
The game was launched on August 4. It has been on Steam's top seller since then. The racked up sales came as a surprise since the game is free on PlayStation 4 with PS Plus throughout August.
The game is also reported to have reached 1.5 million players on PS4 and PC. On top of the sales and number of players, the game also garnered 23 million hours of viewing on Twitch. There have been 1.5 million crown grabs and 60 million death.
Alright, be honest...
How many crowns did you grab
How many times did you fall over
How many hours did you watch on twitch
How many copies did you buy on Steam

The popularity of the game brought Steam to put up a notice on the store page saying, "We underestimated the number of jellybeans in the jar. We're working hard to increase server capacity, but please be aware that matchmaking may be up and down during the launch window."
NicheGamer reports Mediatonic will be offering players an in-game reward as compensation for the inconvenience. They are still working out what it would be and promise to give more details on it soon.
