What year was Rocket League released?

Rocket League was released in 2015. Its public launch took place on July 7, 2015, for PlayStation 4 and Windows.

The game was developed as a sequel to Psyonix's 2008 PlayStation 3 title Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. Psyonix refined that earlier game's car-based soccer concept, improving the physics, presentation, matchmaking, and online infrastructure. Rocket League was officially announced in 2014, but its planned late-2014 release was delayed while the team improved servers and gameplay systems.

Its launch benefited from strong exposure through PlayStation Plus, where it was offered to subscribers on PlayStation 4. The promotion produced a large early player surge and helped the game become a multiplayer success. Later releases arrived on Xbox One, macOS, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, but those ports do not change the original release year.

Another common mix-up is 2020, when Rocket League became free-to-play and Epic Games acquired Psyonix. That was a major business and distribution milestone, not the game's initial release.
