Fall Guys’ developer Mediatonic has invented a secret place, called Cheater Island, to make fun of the game’s most deceitful players.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout players that have been enjoying the game since it was released on the Epic Games Store and Playstation Plus must have certainly noticed the game’s worsening cheating issues. This is not a new issue to Mediatonic since they have acknowledged the presence of hackers and cheaters in their game.

Cheating and hacking issues are common, especially in online games. However, it seems Mediatonic has had the worst of it and has implemented a unique approach in dealing with these kinds of players.
Instead of banning the players that were caught cheating, the developers put the players inside their own type of hell – Cheater Island. The developers announced that they initially planned that those players who were sorted into Cheater Island would be “falling forever”.
Somebody actually uploaded this video to Reddit with the title:
"Ever played a round of Fall Mountain where all the players are cheating?"
The problem is… this LOOKS like Cheater Island but we can't be 100% sure pic.twitter.com/byJi6r0Ykc

Allegedly, during the early days of Fall Guys, there were not enough cheaters to enter a full game. However, this didn’t last long as a lot of cheaters soon filled the island.
The social media is now full of videos of a whole lobby of Fall Guys players who are cheating and are now playing with each other inside Cheater Island. Most probably, the ones who uploaded these videos are cheating too thus, their presence on the island.
However, all good things must come to an end. Cheater Island has been closed and players who are caught cheating have been handed the ban hammer.
