Mystic, a popular PlayStation YouTuber, posted a new video today detailing the additions, which appear to have only rolled out to select PS5 users. You can see what's new in the video above.
Fall Guys survival update adds new creator tools, invisibility, and explosive rhinos
02.03.2024 - 01:49 / rockpapershotgun.com
In an unexpected twist, a large amount of my time is now spent playing Fall Guys, the rubberised, free-to-play competitive bean racing game. I am therefore well equipped to tell you about its Survival Update, released this week, which adds new levels, new powerups and makes it possible to create survival rounds via the in-game level editor.
The new powerups are interesting, at least in theory: one lets you turn invisible, the other allows you toss a rhino-shaped explosive on wheels. They're useful tools on a new set of survival levels and playlists added alongside the update.
Levels in Fall Guys are split into two types: race, in which players rush towards a finish line and can respawn if they take a tumble; and survival, in which death means you're out. It was previously impossible to make the latter in the creative mode added last year. This update changes that, while also adding elements like disappearing hex-tiles and blast balls to the editor for use in any kind of user-made level.
You can also now like and dislike creator-made levels, although really what I'm desperate for is better Mario Maker-style level tagging. You can check the full patch notes on the Fall Guys site.
Despite the ominous name, 'survival' rounds are actually far less stressful to play than Fall Guys' races, because abrupt death is preferable to a prolonged life of tension and suffering.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Fall Guys. It is a good game for kids, because it somewhat flattens the skill distribution of its players by adding elements of luck and random chance to its levels. For the same reason, it's also infuriating, such as when your momentum-cucked wobbler gets punted into the abyss by an unfortunately timed pendulum or a general inability to clear two-inch high steps without a running start. Practice, as my son has, and you can still emerge from this Luck Canyon on the other side of the skill curve by perfecting shortcuts and physics-manipulating dives like some sort of baby-faced 360 noscope Takeshi's Castle wonderkid, but for everyone else, I recommend purchasing some sort of stress ball before you punch your keyboard into bits.

The Finals Update Adds New Features to Private Matches and Other Game Improvements
Embark Studio releases Update 2.1.0 for The Finals, further fleshing out the Private Match mode, fixing a ton of recent bugs, and making other general improvements to the rest of the game. Season 2 of The Finals has seemingly given new life to Embark's online shooter, a game which saw massive growth out of the gate but had started to experience a lot of drop off from players. However, season 2 provided a big refresh to the core experience, and so far, seems to be a hit with fans.

Spider-Man 2 Update Adds New Game+, More [Update: Debug Mode Accidentally Included]
Update: Well, here’s a weird one – apparently this update accidentally gave players access to Spider-Man 2’s developer debug mode. Insomniac is warning that entering debug mode could corrupt saves, although playing as normal shouldn’t cause an issue (you need to enter a button combination to activate debug mode). Needless to say, Insomniac will likely be patching up this whoopsie soon, but they may have opened up a bit of a Pandora’s box.

Chivalry 2's new update adds unofficial server support and skill-based team balancing
Chivalry 2's latest update is called "Duel of the Fêtes", which makes me wish I could drop the chef's kiss emoji into RPS posts. It gets even better, though. Aside from adding new maps, "skill based team balancing", and quality-of-life improvements, the update also adds unofficial server support, for players who want to tweak game rules and party like it's 1999.
