Rocket League Players Have Now Battled In More Than 1 Billion Games
Rocket League continues to pull in fans with its clever blend of soccer and radio-controlled-car action. To what degree, however, may surprise you.
More than 1 billion (yes, with a "B") matches have been played since its July 2015 release, including 31 million matches of the Rumble mode, which launched in September 2016. Those billion matches are split between the game's 25 million players, with half of them being played competitively. Thirty-three percent were casual games, 11 percent were alternative modes, and the final 6 percent were in private matches.
That means more than 421 centuries of human effort have been poured into the game. Yikes.
Our Take
Seriously, yikes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
