I wouldn't go that far. I would say it was the perfect storm for Psyonix.
There aren't that many standout games in July, so people get a bit desperate to find new games to play in dead months. A game that most people never heard of comes out and surprises. I was rather annoyed that the game was given so little coverage and/or reviews from games media the week the game was released. They just prioritized other games like GoW3: Remastered, Rory McIlroy PGA 2015, and Godzilla for whatever bloody reason. We got some a week or 2 weeks later (I'm looking at you Polygon, for publishing your review of Rocket League 2 weeks after release). Oh, and popular gaming channels were late on the bandwagon (although there were some that published videos right away like Northernlion, Gassymexican, Ohmwrecker, etc)
