Joe Ziegler, game director of "Valorant," said "the game has definitely gained momentum at a rate that I don't think we could have imagined." He stated that unexpected regions, including Japan and Thailand have shown an interest in the game.

"Fall Guys" could be the most enchanting battle royale you've ever played. You play as a jellybean-like creature and try to get the best of the other 60 players by doing jump challenges as well as navigating mazes and other games that resemble a game show.



It's remarkable that "Fall Guys" unlike other games like Amazon's "Crucible" it was released with only one game mode and no additional content. This strategy has been successful for the game, and its servers are overwhelmed by the volume of players. CNN Business was informed by developers that they intend to add more content to Fall Guys as well as increasing server bandwidth.
