Main Story
About
Rocket League is soccer with rocket-powered cars. You drive, boost, and fly to hit a giant ball into the other team's goal. You can play online or locally with friends, in ranked matches, casual games, or special event modes. It's easy to pick up but hard to master, which is why it's become a big esports game. You can customize your car with different bodies, wheels, decals, boost trails, and goal explosions. The game also gets regular updates and seasonal events.
