Our Take
Rocket League is a great game, so Psyonix deserves it's success, but considering that the game release in July of 2015, it's impressive that the game's sales have remained so strong. Rocket League got off to a great start when it launched as a free PlayStation Plus game, but it's continued success is a testament to the quality of the game.
