‘Pol Guys’, which sold over 10 million copies as a console game, will be provided free of charge. Epic Games announced on the 22nd that it has converted Pole Guys to free and has released it for the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox.
Anyone can enjoy Pole Guys for free on PC as well as various consoles such as Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. With an Epic Games account, cross-play and cross-progression features are supported on all platforms served. Simultaneously with the free conversion, Pole Guys begins a new season, Season 1 “We All Free Play,” with new round obstacles such as ‘Speed Circuit’, ‘Blast Ball’, ‘Bouncing Floor’, and ‘Pol Guys Volleyball’.
Pole Guys is a battle royale game in which up to 60 players play mini-game rounds until the final winner is revealed. It was released on PC and PlayStation 4 in August 2020, and has been popular with cumulative sales of more than 10 million copies worldwide. In March of last year, Epic Games acquired Mediatonic, the developer of Pole Guys.
Simon Aleis, Epic Games Senior Director, said, “It is very meaningful that Pole Guys supports cross play and cross progression. The ability to connect with friends regardless of where you play is powerful.”
