After several "holiday season" teases, Rocket League officially has a release date for its Nintendo Switch release.

Psyonix will release Rocket League on the Switch on November 14, the company announced today. The game will retail for $19.99 USD (or the regional equivalent) and be available in the Nintendo Switch eShop. As part of the announcement, Nintendo and Psyonix released an in-depth look at the studio and its work on the Switch version.

As noted before by the developer, the Nintendo Switch version of Rocket League will include all the features, upgrades and content from other versions, as well as Switch-exclusive battle cars and customization options.

Nintendo and Psyonix confirmed Rocket League for the Switch during E3 2017.
