Rocket League released back in 2015, but it’s still performing exceptionally well and just recently surged to new heights not seen in years, at least in terms of concurrent players.
Developer Psyonix announced that Rocket League reached more than 900,000 concurrent players across platforms on Friday, January 23. “Today has been a wild ride,” the studio said of the achievement. Rocket League apparently surpassed 1 million concurrents over the weekend, and that’s the highest concurrent-player count for the free-to-play game in five years.
It’s not immediately clear what drove the recent surge in Rocket League players. People are pointing to streamer Jynxzi playing the game recently, but there could be any number of factors contributing to Rocket League’s popularity.
