Rocket League is quickly growing as both a competitive and casual title, with players frantically fighting as cars to score goals on a giant soccer field. As Rocket League continues to become more popular, the game has been introduced to more platforms.

Rocket League was launched in the summer of 2015, bringing crazy fast car action to the PlayStation and PC. Late last year, Rocket League boasted over 61,000 concurrent players on average each month. But that was just on Steam. Since then, Rocket League’s playerbase has continued to grow thanks to the game coming to Xbox and then the Nintendo Switch.

Is Rocket League available on Nintendo Switch?

In September 2020, Psyonix announced that Rocket League was free-to-play on the Nintendo Switch. This meant that the game no longer required users to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership in order to play matches online.
