The game was initially released on July 7, 2015. And in contrast to games such as Overwatch, the developers Psyonix keep adding new features and gameplay options to this day. (Check out the latest Overwatch player count 2022 for more information.) Keeping the interest of the audience high is not something many developers can pull off these days and we certainly admire those who make an effort.

15. Rocket League is currently available on 3 consoles and 3 operating systems.

The game is available on Nintendo Switch, PS 4, and XBox One as well as PC, MacOS, and Linux. Rocket League is one of the most popular games to play for free on PS4 and on all platforms and operating systems. It allows cross-platform play between different versions 

16. In 2022, Rocket League is free-to-play on all platforms.

No need to worry about the Rocket League price anymore. One of the iconic vehicular soccer video games of all time, Rocket League, is free to use on all platforms (even on Steam) since September 2020. 

17. There are 10 standard types of cars in Rocket League.

The competitive football game controlled by cars keeps us coming back for more after every Rocket League match. Of course, the car you drive makes all the difference. Unlike Gran Turismo though, here the cars are anonymous (no brand) and that’s one of the cool things about the game actually. Some models you need to unlock before you can use them, of course. (Speaking of Gran Turismo, did you check out our list of the most anticipated games of 2021? It’s quite awesome!) Every gamer personalizes their car(s) so no cars are the same in any match. The 10 standard types of cars function as the basics for what would become fancier cars as players make progress in the game.

18. There are 14 standard arenas with 21 alterations so far on Rocket League.

The Rocket League arenas are one of the coolest features of the game. There’s an underwater arena (AquaDome) where you play in an illuminated dome at the bottom of the ocean and sharks swim above you. There’s also a Japanese-themed arena (Forbidden Temple) decorated with sakura trees in full blossom and traditional Japanese architecture. Rocket League delivers in gameplay, features, and design!

19. We can play Mario Kart on Rocket League now.

The Workshop map is called Yoshi Circuit - MKRL. The map is of course, similar to the Mario Kart maps, you get to drive your Rocket League car of choice, you get the Rocket League boost pads and demolitions, and of course, the Rocket League ball. We recommend it if you haven’t tried it already - it can be fun! 

20. Rocket League Season 6 was released on March 9, 2022.

Spring is upon us and Rocket League delivers awesome new content as usual. Join a team, win tons of tournament rewards, and collect tons of new items today! The new features in Rocket League Season 6 include the new neo Tokyo comic arena, weekly and seasonal challenges, and competitive rewards. Cool!

Rocket League cars

We can’t talk about Rocket League and not mention the stars of the show - the spectacular Rocket League garage. A player’s car is customisable and if you’re a serious player, the car you drive in the game does matter. If you didn’t know that by now, people pay real money for other player’s cars on the game. 

Cars are one of the aspects of the game which makes players compete among each other. When you enter the game, you start with one of the unlocked cars which of course are basic and very far from fabulous. The more you play, the more awards you get and the better cars you unlock. 

Players can demolish other player’s cars if they drive fast against them and win points. If you want to boost your speed, you have to collect golden spheres from the active boost pads and the more you collect - the better. You can check out how much boost you have on the boost meter located in the bottom right corner. 

Scoring goals in Rocket League is the ultimate challenge to be sure. You score goals with your car and you need several hours in the game to start doing that. Learning to control your car is tough in the beginning, but it’s nothing in comparison to the effort it takes to hit the ball with your car, keep the goal from the other players and eventually start scoring yourself. The player who has scored the most goals during the match wins first place in the team. 

Boom!
