Rocket League Scores a Retail Release on PS4

Supersonic

Vehicular soccer sensation Rocket League will boost to retail stores in the near future, developer Psyonix has announced. The news was teased on a Kinda Funny livestream, before being officially announced on the game's Facebook page. The developer said that more details will follow soon, including who it's partnering with and what content the package will include. It promised to make the boxed release "special", however.

Speaking on the aforementioned stream, vice president Jeremy Dunham added that the title's sold over 10 million units across all platforms now – but those numbers do include PlayStation Plus giveaways. Irrespective, that's an absolutely gigantic figure for a game of this scale. And the best part about it all is that it enables us to say that we told you so… Oh, alright – we probably can't keep bringing this up, can we?

Still enjoy it as much today as I did at launch. Rocket League will last me the lifespan of PS4, I think, and I'm so pleased that it's resonated with people.

I wonder if the retail box will come with any cool extras?

That's it. I'm done buying games on PSN. Last time I end up having to buy a game twice (as an OCD collector these digital become physical releases are doubly killing my wallet).

From now on, no physical no buy. Unless the game has been out for like 3 years and I know that no physical version is coming.

That aside, right on!

Enjoyed the game for a month or so then never went back. Surprised its getting a retail release unless its going to be a special edition. So many people already have it for free so the market is going to be reduced.

@themcnoisy You are right! I wasn't convinced at first and thought it was a pretty fun game but now my head has been turned! It's great playing with the community and having tournaments etc. Now I've become a better all round player I've been smashing people on ranked matches and I can't get of the game. Even when your playing terrible you can score some amazing goals or make some great saves, it feels much better than scoring on Fifa unless it's pro-clubs (We rarely score on that haha).
