Rocket League has officially sold more than one million units on Valve’s Steam platform and was the #1 selling game on Steam for the month of July and a top seller again in August. Rocket League was released on Steam PC and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system via the PlayStation®Network on Tuesday, July 7, and has stormed the summer charts ever since, remaining on Steam’s Top-Seller’s list for 10 straight weeks and counting. Racking up a Metacritic score of 86 on PC and 85 on PS4™, Rocket League’s first downloadable content pack, “Supersonic Fury,” has sold more than 600,000 copies since its release on August 13.
Rocket League is one of the most critically-acclaimed games of the summer, boasting a community that is already more than 6 million players strong. Available digitally on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system via PlayStation®Network and on PC via Steam, Rocket League brings gamers a high-powered hybrid of arcade-style soccer and vehicular mayhem. Offering easy-to-understand controls and fluid physics-driven competition for 1-8 players, Rocket League boasts more than 10 billion possible garage customizations, giving players the opportunity to distinguish their Battle-Cars in either local or online play, while showing them off in a broadcast-quality replay viewer that perfectly complements the video-editing capabilities of PlayStation® SHAREfactory™.
The multiplayer-focused successor to 2008’s Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions, relying on mass and momentum to give players a complete sense of intuitive control in an unbelievable, high-octane re-imagining of association football. Players can breeze through the tutorial and play solo in the all-new Season Mode or vie against the AI in multiple team formations and difficulty settings. Up to four people can compete in two-to-four-player splitscreen action as well, with up to eight total players battling it out online (in Ranked, Unranked, or Private Matches) on dedicated servers located all over the world.
Here is the new Revenge of the Battle Cars DLC trailer:
