'Fall Guys' comes to PS4, Steam on August 4

 

If you want the battle royale experience but don't want it to be kid-/family-friendly, then you'll want to check out Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. The game is coming to the Sony PlayStation 4 and Steam on August 4. 

Mediatonic and Devolver originally wanted to have 100 players per round. Unfortunately, you're "only" getting 60 players per round. Will it still be as manic? We assume so. The game revolves around a collection of mini-games where only one player will emerge the victor. It has that tension of a battle royale game, but it is something you would be more comfortable having your kid play.

Google Fit gets health-centric YouTube video feed

As part of Google's "Stay Fit #WithMe" campaign, Google Fit is making it easier to find health-related videos on its app. It will integrate a YouTube video feed with clips from various creators, focusing on home workouts, mental wellness advice, and meditation videos as well as eating and drinking healthy with soy or cacao drinks.. 

Google aims to encourage its users to meet or exceeded the World Health Organization's and the American Heart Association's minimum recommendations for weekly physical activity, which is more important now as people's mobility remains limited because of COVID-19. The video carousel will roll out to all users this week. There might be regional differences with what kinds of videos are available, but as Android Police notes, they only see one playlist.
