Rocket League has been released only on PlayStation 4 and PC at the time but the team is well aware of the demand on other platforms. A few months ago the team confirmed that they are open to release the game on other platforms but this will depend on time, real demand and resources, as the team is too small to work on new versions of the game and updates for the current versions at the same time. The game is coming to SteamOS and Linux so there’s the chance that other console versions will follow in the future.

Rocket League is now available on PlayStation 4 and PC. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on future patches or other versions so stay tuned for all the latest news on the excellent game developed by Psyonix.
