Fall Guys have announced an in-game skin auction for their Ultimate Knockout game, offering any brand or individual a chance to embed their name into the popular party game by outbidding their competition for a charitable cause.

It has quickly become one of the most popular games in the world, beating the likes of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Fortnite and even League of Legends to become the most-watched title on Twitch in the last week with a reported 181,974 average viewers.
