Rocket League is a game that pleasantly surprised everyone when it was released. It’s a fun and addictive car soccer that is powered by Unreal Engine and according to Jeremy Dunham, vice president at Psyonix, the game has sold 8 million copies.
As Jeremy said when asked about it, Rocket League has sold 8 million copies and there are almost 22 million total players. This number counts both individual and split-screen players.
Unfortunately, it’s really difficult determining how many copies were sold on Steam, as the game had a free weekend on April 21st.
Including the free weekend, there are currently almost 4.4 million owners.
Still, this is great news and shows that an indie title can become a hit, provided it is good, polished and gets enough exposure.

Such an addictive and fun game indeed. But since S3, everyboy’s GC now in 2s. I don’t see the point anymore. The achievment treshold is so low 🙁
Well according to Steam spy 4.3 million were on Steam. However there was a free weekend so i dont know how long it takes for that to fix the numbers long term.
Also i would love to know how many of those 8 million are just downloads through PS+.
Good point.
Congrats to their success.
The game didn’t work for me though, maybe it’s because I’m not a fan of chasing a ball on a field.
Game is fantastic, always love to see indies find major success like this.
