If you're a newbie to the game, then you may be a bit intimidated going into your first few matches. There are plenty of players who have had a lot of time to master the game and get incredibly good — sharply decreasing your chances of obtaining the ever-elusive crown rewarded at the end of a match. Alternatively, if you're a very good player, you may not want to play in a match against new players so as to better challenge yourself. Does the game use skill-based matchmaking for matches?

You'll be happy to know that in April of 2022, the developers did introduce skill-based matchmaking to the game, meaning you're grouped into matches with players who are of a similar skill level as you.

According to Dot Esports, the game switched its matchmaking system from the original Unity-based system to the same one as Fortnite's — a change that makes sense, given Fall Guys' acquisition by Epic Games.

This means that you can enter any match in the game without fear that you're being pit against players immensely better (or significantly worse) than you, making for a more leveled and overall enjoyable play experience.

Of course, this doesn't mean you won't find yourself up against particularly challenging foes, but it definitely does make the game more accessible and friendly to users of all experience levels.
