Team Fall Guys / 1 April, 2025
Fall Guys has entered the competitive arena, and it’s a knockout! Or, should we say it’s a Ranked Knockout — an all-new mode just added to Fall Guys that introduces a skill-based progression system, exciting challenges, and a whole bunch of rewards.

What is Ranked Knockout?
Think you’re the biggest and baddest Bean around? Ranked Knockout is your chance to prove it! This new mode functions just like the Knockout you know and love, but with the addition of eight competitive ranks — Rookie, Contender, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ace, Star, and Superstar — each of which is divided into Sub Ranks:
- Rookie (Rookie 1-3)
- Contender (Contender 1-3)
- Bronze (Bronze 1-3)
- Silver (Silver 1-3)
- Gold (Gold 1-5)
- Ace (Ace 1-5)
- Star (Star 1-5)
- Superstar (Just 1 rank — for the best of the best!)
All players will start as a Rookie, and must earn points to be promoted to a higher Rank. Points are earned based on your performance in Ranked Knockout matches — the closer you get to the Final, the more points you’ll receive! But bean-ware, you can also lose points (and eventually drop Ranks) for noob-like antics. Don’t act surprised, this is Fall Guys after all…
Ranked Knockout is divided into eight-week-long Competitive Cycles. At the end of each Cycle, all players receive Rewards based on their highest attained Rank.

How Ranked Knockout Works
Scoring System
While at one of the initial four Ranks — Rookie, Contender, Bronze, or Silver — it’s impossible to fall through the Ranks, even if you yeet yourself off the Map one hundred times in a row (although we wouldn’t recommend that).
The last four Ranks — Gold, Ace, Star, or Superstar — are where the going gets tough, and the Beans get down to business. You’ll have points deducted each time you fail to make it through the initial rounds of each match and will eventually be demoted after repeated mishaps.
In the event you are demoted (don’t worry, we all have off days), you can only drop to a lower Sub Rank, not a full Rank. For example, if you’re at Ace 3, you’ll tumble down to Ace 2 and eventually to Ace 1, but you can’t drop all the way to Gold 3.
Matchmaking
To keep the competition fair, Ranked Knockout's matchmaking system will place you against players as close to your current rank as possible. Regardless of rank, the round pool of available levels remains the same for every player.
Competitive Cycles
At the end of each Competitive Cycle, all players will have their Rank reset to give every Bean another shot at the big time. Each Cycle will also switch up the Level Pool and introduce new Challenges, so brace yourself for unexpected obstacles!
