PS Blog Post

The team here at Psyonix has been overwhelmed by the positive worldwide reaction to our upcoming action-sports game Rocket League. Which is why we want to give you all not one, but FOUR major pieces of information in a single announcement!
The first two are right there in the headline: Rocket League will be available for purchase on PlayStation Store July 7th, while Twisted Metal’s famous ice cream truck, Sweet Tooth, joins our roster of playable cars as a special unlockable vehicle exclusively on PS4! Watch our brand new trailer below for proof!

What the headline doesn’t tell you is that Rocket League will also be one of the few games in history that supports PS4/ PC cross-play — meaning that owners of both the console version and the PC version will be able to team up or go head-to-head in the same matches when the game launches early next month!
And finally, we’re very proud to announce that Rocket League will be making an appearance at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and will be playable in near-finished form. Season Mode, splitscreen multiplayer, car customization, and Sweet Tooth himself will all be available to check out and enjoy all three days of the show. We can’t wait to see you drop by to enjoy it!
Rocket League, Sweet ToothRocket League, Sweet Tooth
I know I say it in every post, but on behalf of the entire team at Psyonix, that you VERY MUCH for the continued sentiment, support, and suggestions during the development of this game. Without you, our sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars never would have happened, and for that, we are forever grateful.
See you at E3 and see you once again on July 7th!

It will cost $19.99 and 'as close to that as possible' in other regions.

[uncleniccius]

I'm in. Day fucking 1.

I am also in, it looks so good.

Poor Psyonix though Couldn't have timed it worse if they tried..

 

[bjaelke]

Cross Play \o/

 

[delSai]

I'm in. Day fucking 1.

Fuck yeah!

 

[T-Rex.]

Day 1 for me and all. The beta was just ridiculously fun.

 

[v1lla21]

Yes!!

 

[Dmonzy]

Any chance this will be a PS+ game since it's released the same day?

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Wait, this isn't f2p? From the beta I got the feeling it was.

 

[newsguy]

Best news all year. The Beta is the most fun I've had with any game this Gen.

 

[nicolajNN]

Hell yeah! I cannot wait. Sweet Tooth and cross play is neat news.

 

[5amshift]

Friend and I loved the beta. Can't wait to pick it up!

 

[Blanquito]

Awesome

 

[NIN90]

Fuck Fallout, this is the actual big news today.

 

[TimeEffect]

Cross play?

THANK YOU PSYONIX!!

 

[MisterRoboto]

Aww yeah.. Jul 7 can't come soon enough.

 

[Rosur]

July 7th is the first Tuesday of the month. Maybe one of July's PS+ games (which are announced at E3)?

 

[Veritigo_X]

Woah cross-play is great news! I wish more games did this.

 

[Snarfington]

Fuck your post-nuclear shit, I got cars playin FOOTBALL son

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Day 1 baby

 

[syphilosaurus]

SO fucking in. Please take my money. Cross-platform play is awesome, thank you Psyonix!!!

 

[Wiggy]

Any chance this will be a PS+ game since it's released the same day?

Yeah that's what I was thinking, still picking it up either way though

 

[NotLiquid]

Never heard of this game. So it's basically TF2's Bumper Car mode but with actually good controls and mechanics?

Sounds interesting.

 

[Hasney]

Honestly, the beta even was so polished that I'm in. The only real bug I seen was a text chat bug relating to suspend and resume. Cannot freaking wait.

 

[Corrupt]

Can't fuckin' wait.

 

[Shin-Ra]

That's some tasty looking grass.

 

[uncleniccius]

Never heard of this game. So it's basically TF2's Bumper Car mode but with actually good controls and mechanics?

Sounds interesting.

I've not played that, but imagine football/soccer with cars. It is amazing and has awesome depth, someone will likely post the videos of players from the original (Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars) and from the beta.. such fun and it really is incredible IMO.

basically this

 

[jmaine_ph]

I doubt it'll be a PS+ game but it might be discounted for PS+ subscribers. I'm in day 1 regardless!!!

 

[spindashing]

Crossplay?! Sweet Tooth?! Holy shit, this game is too good.

Looks a lot cooler than I expected! Will definitely try it out once it hits.

 

[johnnyquicknives]

Awww yeah. Can't wait for this now.

 

[Heartfyre]

I lost so many hours to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars that getting this is a no-brainer for me, especially with the enhanced single-player stuff. Really nice to see PS4/PC crossplay as well.

 

[Xeilyn]

Didnt get a chance to try the beta but it looks super fun so ill definitely check it out

 

[Chipotle]

I'm going to play the shit out of this

 

[ChaosZeroX]

I'm more hyped for this then Fallout 4.

 

[Tizoc]

Wish it would release early as I just got a PS4 and need a fun multiplayer game on it DX

 

[mr_chun]

The beta was so freaking good. I hope the game does well for them, good people at Psyonix.

Will purchase.

 

[Visualante2]

In a weird way it feels like they're hiding the PC version, it's day and date but there's no Steam page. The trailer only mentions PS4.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Glad I played the beta because I probably wouldn't have given this a chance. Game is good, crossplay might lead to a healthy online population.

 

[DarkConfidant]

Day 1. Loved Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars, and Sweet Tooth only makes things....sweeter.

 

[Bluforce]

Cross-play was unexpected. Now I must choose which platform.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Had a blast in the beta- Day 1.

My only concern is hacking on the PC vers. then competing with PS4 players.

 

[hao chi]

Can't wait. The betas were amazing.

 

[Zoracka]

I'm not sure if I should buy this on PC or PS4. Will most likely end up with both.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

In a weird way it feels like they're hiding the PC version, it's day and date but there's no Steam page. The trailer only mentions PS4.

Well it is the PS blog after all, if anything I'm amazed they mentioned the PC version in the blog

 

[-MD-]

Can't say I really care about the game but I'm really glad they're keeping Twisted Metal alive in some way, even if it is some dumb cameo.

Really want a Twisted Metal on PS4.

 

[shotgunbob04]

So in. My friends and I played the betas too much to not buy this. To the point where my cousin was opening the app every day to see if the second beta had started yet so we could keep playing.

 

[dragn]

this gen needs more cross play, like fifa :<

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Awesome, can't wait!
