What genre does Wikipedia list for Rocket League?

Wikipedia lists Rocket League’s genre as Sports.

That label fits the game’s central design: players control rocket-powered cars in soccer-style matches, striking a large ball toward an opposing goal. Although driving, aerial movement, and vehicle customization are essential, the objective and match structure are recognizably sports-based rather than those of a conventional racing or fighting game.

Rocket League began as a sequel to Psyonix’s 2008 game Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. The studio refined that earlier car-soccer concept, improving accessibility, matchmaking, presentation, and online play. The result launched for PlayStation 4 and Windows in July 2015 and later reached Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and other platforms.

A common mix-up is choosing “Racing” because cars are the players’ avatars. Racing is not the primary objective: matches are won by scoring goals, while driving and flying are the means of playing the sport. The game has also added basketball, hockey, and football-inspired modes, but Wikipedia’s broad genre classification remains Sports.
