Rocket League developers Psyonix has declared 2017 the “best year yet” for the game, as they announce that the popular indie experience has surpassed 38 million players since it launch two years ago.
Design director Corey Davis has cited the game’s success this year to being down to the continued growth of Esports and the release of the Nintendo Switch version: “We had the pleasure of welcoming a whole new set of fans from the Nintendo Switch community – a huge milestone not just for us at Psyonix, but also for Rocket League as a game and an esport.”
Davis went on to thank fans and the community for making the Rocket League Championship Series into “one of the best competitive scenes on the planet,” before continuing to pledge support for cross-platform play in 2018: “Our PsyNet Party tests this fall were a huge success – thanks again to our patient Steam playerbase for helping us out! With PsyNet Parties now stably powering the Switch platform, we’ll begin rolling it out to all of our players sometime next year.”
Rocket League is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Expect to see another strong year in 2018 from Psyonix, with plenty of changes already in the works.
