The developers are already promoting the third season of the game, and this is where the future of Fall Guys will be determined. Things are looking bleak for Fall Guys, but it's not over for the Beans just yet. Watching streamers work out the identity of the imposter or lie while acting as the imposter is a lot more engaging than watching people fall off the same platforms over and over again, which is why Among Us is dominating the gaming discourse (for now). Among Us' Steam numbers have shot through the roof since it became the darling of streamers, and it has a lot more group engagement than Fall Guys.

Enter Among Us, which has stolen the spotlight away from Fall Guys.

The problem with relying on streamers for a popularity boost is that they will drop the game when another becomes the new fad. The fact that it was released during a time when many places were still in lockdown meant that it became a perfect online party game for people who couldn't go outside. There are a lot of funny moments playing Fall Guys and streamers were able to make content from their successes & failures in the game. A lot of streamers played a ton of Fall Guys during its first few months, as it's the kind of game that's perfect for overreactions. A big part of Fall Guys' success was its popularity with streamers.
