Rocket League is a fantastical sport-based video game, developed by Psyonix. Many would say it’s like “soccer with cars”. It features a competitive game mode based on teamwork and outmaneuvering opponents. Rocket League is rated E for Everyone.
Game Details
What's the game objective of Rocket League?
Extremely similar to the traditional sport of Soccer, teams made up of three players will work together to advance the ball down the field and score goals in their opponents’ net.
Each team starts on opposite sides of the field (either Blue or Orange). The ball starts in the middle of the field. After a countdown, the timer begins, and players race to be the first to hit the ball with their car. Once the ball is in play, the 5-minute countdown starts, only stopping when a goal is scored.
A team wins the match by scoring more goals than their opponent within the 5-minute time limit. Tied games will be sent to Overtime, where the first team to score will be the winner of the game.
Does Rocket League have an age requirement?
Yes, Rocket League has a 13+ age requirement for participation. This age requirement is a part of the Rocket League's community tournament guidelines.
