ROCKET LEAGUE IS COMING TO CHINA

Since our launch in July 2015, Rocket League has already surpassed more than 30 million players and 1.25 billion online matches -- and it's just the beginning! As announced earlier today at the Tencent UP 2017 event, Psyonix and Tencent Games have teamed up to bring Rocket League to Chinese players on PC!

With the new release, there will also be changes to the Chinese version of Rocket League to better suit the expectations of that community. Though the core gameplay experience will remain unchanged, our traditional framework will be replaced with a new streamlined free-to-play system. In keeping with Rocket League traditions, however, the Chinese free-to-play version will not follow a "pay-to-win" formula, and will instead hold true to our "community first" mantra, where skill and teamwork are your most important attributes.

I think RL should go F2P in all other regions too. By now it has enough micro transactions to sustain revenue.

I wonder if Rocket League will be free on Tencents service when it comes to the West soon as well.

I doubt it. They already have a very strong base in the west and people here are willing to pay for games. If anything they're gonna make it F2P for everyone next year or so. All they have to do is make crates purchasable.

I think he's on to something. I played with some friends yesterday, they were absolute trash. Had to carry them all the way.

I'm pretty sure every other platform it's currently on has local multiplayer.

Yep. Though unless you have a massive TV the loss of FoV makes local multiplayer pretty crappy. Rocket League is a game that should be on every platform possible.

Oops! Forgot to put the portability of the Switch will make local multiplayer much better.
