just a bit astonished. That’s where the joke about Dave (studio owner) having to eat bread (which he hates because he’s weird) if we got 10k concurrent players came from - he thought that was unreachable. We’re now riding well over 100k concurrent players during peak hours and it’s growing every day.
I’m especially happy to see how people are rallying around it as an eSport, because if you watch even new players play it it gets exciting in those clutch moments, but to see the guys that are amazing at it go against each other is insane. I kicked my footrest the other night at like 1am and almost woke the family up because someone was blocking a sick aerial. Imagine a full stadium filled with people watching the best of the best go at it? #OneMoreGame

I can’t believe this is happening. No one at the office can. This was supposed to be a little game about soccer and cars that our fans on our forums have been begging for. I really really hope the momentum keeps up! I was telling Dave today after work about how siiiiiiiick would it be if this game gets so big we have to rent out a venue for tournaments and every is screaming and going ape shnip while the best Rocket League players are doing Arial juggling space jam dunks into goals.
The dreaaaaam.

we were surprised.
We always knew that fans of the original game, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, enjoyed it, and we knew that it was fun, but the enthusiasm we saw from the two betas far exceeded our expectations. Their positivity fueled our own positivity, and it really pushed us to make the game the best that we could. We didn’t want to let anyone down.
