Fall Guys' relationship with Xbox has been confusing in recent weeks. Speculation started when the two brands were seen interacting on Twitter, and it was further propelled when Microsoft seemingly confirmed its arrival to Xbox Game Pass via Instagram. After some damage control, it was revealed not to be the case, but Mediatonic has confirmed it's still eager to bring the game to "every major platform".
In a recent interview with Gamesindustry.biz, company CEO Dave Bailey spoke about the game's likelihood to appear on other systems and introduce crossplay capabilities in the process:
"We haven't said much about the roadmap for this, but what we can say is we want this to reach as many people as possible. We want it to come to every major platform, and we're working hard to achieve that."
"We want to come to all the different platforms, and hopefully connect those platforms so people can play together. If we do that right, that can be a superpower for other ambitions around original games and that publishing business, too. It's really propelled everything forward by quite a bit."
Will it be coming to Xbox Game Pass as well? That remains to be seen, although it certainly seems like a good fit for the multiplayer party game. For now though, we're just waiting on a release date for Xbox in general.
Are you still eager to see Fall Guys come to the Xbox family? Let us know in the comments below.

Coming to xbox in any form is a good thing.
By the time the apparent Sony exclusivity ends, will anyone care?
@Generik I don't think there is a Sony exclusivity deal or something like that. If there was they wouldn't be talking so open about bring to other platforms.
I think the reason it is not on Xbox is simply because they didn't had enough money to ship an online game in multiple platforms at the same time so they choose the one with more players to release first.
I hope it comes to Switch too. Hopefully it doesn't require NSO, because that blows.
Meh..
..too many new games, hell, too many old games.
@ObeseChihuahua2 Of course it'll require it, it's not a free to play game.
This game was a blast for the first couple of weeks but it got old fast and relying on new costumes and that kind of crap didn't keep it fresh.
I'll give it a go if it comes and my kids would likely enjoy it as well. But not something I'm my radar so just a small bonus if it does come to gamepass.
@FredBiletnikoff Yeah, you're right. It can't be any worse than in August, right? When I boot up SSBU, the online doesn't crash like 70% of the time, so at least there's that.
