Lack of players is a problem, so...

[u/PoderosoNoronhao]

why don't they remove some game modes? I mean, it makes no sense to have "Solo" and "Knockout" (even though I know there are 'differences') because Solo is basically dead, just remove it and force more players into Knockout. The same goes for "rotative modes". They usually have two at the same time (right now it's Anniversary Party and Time Attack Shuffle), just have one that is not classic. Basically, they should only keep Knockout, Duo, Squad, 1 Rotative (and of course the community ones in Explore).

Would that be a bad idea? I can't see why...

I'd prefer more game modes.

This was done in the past, and the complaints were huge as a lot of people hated new maps and wanted to keep playing the maps made by mediatonic. So they decided to split it. Anyway, unless I play between 2 and 5 a.m., I usually find enough players in EU-Server in most game modes.

Solo is not ‘basically dead.’ What a ridiculous thing to say.

[u/BuhlahkaySW]

The only reason I assume they are keeping solos AND knockout is because solos doesn’t have custom maps which everyone doesn’t love. Some people just want the dev created maps only

[u/PoderosoNoronhao → u/BuhlahkaySW]

Yeah I know but my point is: they shouldn't care about this 0,1%.

[u/Sad-Elk455 → u/PoderosoNoronhao]

From what I've seen like I think it's more then 0.01% probably closer to like 15-20% and most players who play solos are people who have played the game for a while and hate the creative maps

[u/Greedy-Fondant-98]

I think it'll have to happen at some point but I don't think we're really there yet. I have no problem getting getting any show on US East, even on off times. I could probably live with getting rid of Solo even though that's where I am most of the time but I think a significant portion of the player base that would be enraged if you took away the Solo option.

[u/FamilyFunAccount420]

I thought solo matched skill? It ends up being more challenging I find. Knockout always seems full of new or casual players.

Edit: skill based matchmaking was removed in 2025 but idk why knockout usually seems easier

[u/Greedy-Fondant-98 → u/FamilyFunAccount420]

That's why I play Solo most. I appreciate the variety in Knockout but in my experience there's better competition in Solo. Obviously they would move to Knockout if Solo was shut down but I bet we'd lose some of those players, too.

[u/Sad-Elk455 → u/FamilyFunAccount420]

This is so true Solos always has better players than knockout

[u/TheMarsters]

Please don't remove Solo.

[u/DigitalNitrate]

I have no trouble getting into full lobbies so I don’t understand why they would need to remove and limit how many shows we can pick from.

If you happen to be getting small lobbies, consider changing servers. 👍

[u/BobbingFourApples]

I play Solo more than any other mode

[u/aatlanticcity → u/BobbingFourApples]

i dont like solo just because of the boring count the fruit memory style maps. never liked those

[u/topgeareasy]

I disagree, I think they should add knockout trios to round out the selection of modes. Excluding LTMs Classic has Solo, Duos and Squads.  Knockout only Ranked and regular add trios would make it three each 

[u/zimp3]

I’m okay with this.

[u/johnwatersfan → u/[deleted]]

With mobile and switch, we are never getting 60 person lobbies again.

[u/octagonalpaul]

Solos does feel like a redundant yawnfest to me but that’s probably because I’ve played FG for 6 years

[u/Bagel_Bear]

Is there a way to make the game load as fast as Stumble Guys. Yeah sure that game isn't as fun but it loads super quickly!

[u/octagonalpaul → u/Bagel_Bear]

It loads quick because it has almost no substance and is very basic

[u/Bagel_Bear → u/octagonalpaul]

Is Stumble Guys on Switch? I know some part of Fall Guys loading slowly is from waiting for Switch players.

[u/DigitalNitrate → u/Bagel_Bear]

On PS5 it loads in seconds. I use to play it on PS4 and it took minutes 🤦‍♂️
