Fall Guys' developer Mediatonic has not officially commented on the existence of bots in the game, so all we have is speculation to go off of — but some players have claimed that they've noticed patterns indicating bots to be a limited part of gameplay.

Reportedly, bots were believed a part of the game at its conception in 2020, though they would only appear during the player's first few matches in Fall Guys and never made it to the game's final rounds.

Since the developers have never commented on this, though, it's hard to confirm or deny bots' existence in the game.

That being said, even if bots were occasionally used to help a match reach the required number of players, there aren't any bots available for players to compete against in practice rounds or in offline play. This means you'll have to be online when playing Fall Guys to compete against real players.
