Rocket League launched on the PlayStation 4 back in the summer of 2015, and it was an instant hit. The simple but incredibly effective concept quickly caught on with all kinds of players, and the title has confidently surfed its wave of popularity ever since, with developer Psyonix Studios providing regular game updates for good measure.
It's nice to hear, then, that the title's still smashing milestones as it approaches its second birthday. According to the game's official Twitter account, over 1 billion Rocket League matches have now been played by more than 25 million users. 50 per cent of those matches have been competitive, 33 per cent casual, 11 per cent alternative, and 6 per cent private. Who doesn't love some good old fashioned stats? 31 million Rumble matches have been had, too.

Best game this generation so far. You find the odd person who may not like this game but they are usually outnumbered 50-1. Its fun, playable and rewarding.
The match making, possibly owing to the hundreds of thousands online daily is the best I've ever used. My win ratio is exactly 50%. Its found my perfect skill level.
Before Rocket League and after Rocket League. A true game changer.
I think part of the success of this game is down to PS+ Otherwise I don't understand how Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocker Powered Battle cards was missed by the majority who play Rocket League now. It's not as good but it still was fun!
Congratulations to them and all that, but to me the biggest takeaway of this article was that this game came out 1.5 years ago. Holy crap, have I accidentally put myself into fast forward without realising it?
Anyway, I enjoyed this game a lot at first but it got boring pretty fast. I played it quite a lot in the first few weeks but haven't touched it since. It's definitely a great game that deserves to be successful but it's far too repetitive for me. I don't like real sport either, so that's probably why.
