While no attendees are allowed at live games because of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, two LA Chargers athletes decided to have some extra fun at the empty SoFi Stadium. Instead of tackling each other on the real-life field, they plugged in their PCs and tackled and bounced off each other in Fall Guys.According to the video posted to the Chargers' twitter, safety Rayshawn Jenkins and placekicker Mike Badgley set up some PCs in a caster's booth on one side of the field and hooked up their display to the giant jumbotron screen. In the video, the cameraperson first focuses on Jenkins and Badgley, who are both focused on the game while wearing professional-tier headsets.
Developed by Mediatonic, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a platformer battle-royale game that was released in August. Up to 60 players compete to progress through a series of randomly selected minigames. Matches are ultimately won by the last player standing after all others have been eliminated.
The game has been widely successful since its release. Within 24 hours after being made available, the game had reportedly acquired approximately 1.5 million players, crashing the game's servers. It has since gone on to sell more than 7 million copies on Steam and is currently the most downloaded game available on PlayStation Plus.
