In less than a year since its initial launch on PC and PlayStation 4, extreme vehicular sports game Rocket League has passed over $110 million in sales. That's over 5 million copies of Rocket League on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Rocket League launched as a free download for PlayStation Plus members on PS4 last July, making the numbers especially impressive.
"Thanks to PlayStation Plus at launch, those numbers are really front-loaded in the beginning," said Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham in an interview with Forbes.
Today, 42% of Rocket League's active player base is on PS4, but according to Dunham, PC isn't too far behind, with 36% of the current player base. The Xbox One version, which launched in February of this year, holds the remaining 22%.
"Our numbers are actually going up, not down, which is not very common for a game that's ten months old," Dunham told Forbes.
Rocket League had sold 4 million copies by December of last year, making that one million copies sold in the first half of 2016 alone.
Our review of Rocket League praised it for its strong execution of a "simple, absurd idea" and the "surprising strategy" that emerges from its "fast, frenzied matches."
