Rocket League is a vehicular soccer video game developed and published by Psyonix. The game was first released for PlayStation 4 and Windows in July 2015, with ports for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch being released later on. In June 2016, 505 Games began distributing a physical retail version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment taking over those duties by the end of 2017. Versions for macOS and Linux were also released in 2016, but support for their online services were dropped in 2020. The game went free-to-play in September 2020.
Described as "soccer, but with rocket-powered cars", Rocket League
has up to eight players assigned to each of the two teams, using
rocket-powered vehicles to hit a ball into their opponent's goal and
score points over the course of a match. The game includes single-player
and multiplayer modes that can be played both locally and online,
including cross-platform
play between all versions. Later updates for the game enabled the
ability to modify core rules and added new game modes, including ones
based on ice hockey and basketball.
Rocket League is a sequel to Psyonix's
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a 2008 video game for the PlayStation
