How to Get Free Kudos in Fall Guys

Fall Guys went free-to-play in 2022, and its internal economy has confused new players ever since. The game runs on three separate concepts that shouldn't be mixed up: Show-Bucks are the premium currency (bought with real money or earned in very limited amounts through the free Fame Pass); Crowns are earned by finishing first in a final round, but since June 2022 they stopped being a spendable currency — now they only feed the Crown Rank, a cosmetic prestige system with no store cost attached; and Kudos are the game's genuine free, spendable currency, used to buy common outfit pieces, nicknames, name plates, patterns and basic colors. This guide focuses on Kudos, the only thing you can actually farm and spend without paying. We'll explain where they currently come from (the system has changed several times since 2022), how much you can expect to earn per season, and what to realistically expect if you don't plan on putting money into the game.

What's the fastest way to get Kudos in Fall Guys?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Kudos, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

Up to ~2,600 Kudos per season Every patch

Progress the Fame Pass (free season track)

Since July 2024, the Fame Pass has been the main — and practically only — way to earn Kudos consistently. Each season lasts between 4 and 9 weeks and hands out up to 70 levels of rewards on its free track, including Kudos chunks, colors, patterns and nicknames. You level up by playing normal matches and earning Fame, the pass's experience points. Near the end of each season a 'Double Fame Boost' usually kicks in that doubles the Fame you earn, useful for squeezing out the last few levels before they expire.

Variable, several hundred Fame per challenge Daily

Complete Fame Pass challenges

The Fame Pass includes daily and weekly challenges (clearing specific rounds, playing X matches, finishing in the top of a Race or Survival-type round) that hand out large chunks of Fame at once, well above what you get from single matches. They're the most efficient way to level up the free pass quickly and, in turn, to unlock the Kudos chunks it contains. Check the challenge menu every day you log in — some expire and can't be recovered.

Variable, usually includes specific Kudos chunks Variable

Limited-time events and collaborations

Mediatonic runs themed events and collaborations (festivals, special minigames, crossovers) that add their own mini-progression with exclusive rewards, including extra Kudos blocks outside the standard Fame Pass. These aren't recurring or predictable in size, but they add up during the time they're active. It's worth playing while an event lasts, since rewards can't be claimed after it ends.

Variable (Fame per round cleared) Daily

Play matches regularly

Even though Kudos are no longer awarded directly for finishing a match (this changed with the 2024 Fall Forever update), every round you clear still generates Fame, which is what advances the Fame Pass and therefore unlocks the free track's Kudos chunks. The more matches you play and the more rounds you clear, the faster you progress. There's no officially documented per-win multiplier, so the relationship is roughly linear: more time played, more Fame.

Not fixed to a single number Daily

Log in throughout the season

Not letting a season expire without finishing it is a method in itself: since free Kudos are tied to Fame Pass tiers, any level you don't claim before the season changes is lost. Logging in daily, even briefly, to claim challenges and keep up your progress rate avoids losing rewards already earned from Fame built up in previous sessions.

How much free Kudos can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Free Fame Pass (progress through play)	Variable (part of ~2,600/season)	Ongoing through the season
Daily/weekly pass challenges	Variable, main accelerator	Daily
Limited-time events and collaborations	Variable, not guaranteed every month	Variable
Estimated total	Not precisely quantifiable on a monthly basis	—

Free Kudos depend on how many Fame Pass tiers you complete in a season (4-9 weeks, not a calendar month) and whether an event is active during that window, so there's no fixed 'per month' figure. As a rough reference, an active player who completes most challenges can get close to the ~2,600 Kudos handed out by a full free season track.

Frequently asked questions

Can Crowns be used to buy things in the Fall Guys store?

No. Since the currency change in June 2022, Crowns stopped being spendable in the store. They now only count toward your Crown Rank, a prestige system that unlocks its own cosmetic rewards (nameplates, patterns, titles) simply for winning matches, without letting you choose what to spend them on.

Can you get free Show-Bucks in Fall Guys?

Only in very limited amounts: the free Fame Pass track hands out up to 200 Show-Bucks per season. That's a token amount compared to the 600 the Supercharged version of the pass costs or store prices, so there's no realistic way to build up enough free Show-Bucks to regularly buy premium content.

Why don't I get Kudos anymore for finishing a match?

Mediatonic removed the direct per-match Kudos payout with the 2024 Fall Forever update. Since then, free Kudos come exclusively through Fame Pass reward tiers (which you level up by playing and earning Fame) and through limited-time events, not as an immediate reward for playing.
