Following on from Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, which was released for the PS3 in 2009, Rocket League first arrived for PlayStation 4 and PC in July 2015, followed by other versions. Along with the development of eSports, including the Rocket League Championship Series, the other big change was when it became free-to-play in 2020. It’s also been an instrumental title in the adoption of cross-platform play.
