Rocket League, the car based soccer game by Psyonix, is doing fantastically well according to a recent report by Forbes.
The report says that nearly 11 months after its debut it has sold more than 5 million copies. This 5 million only represents actual copies purchased, so does not include the millions of copies downloaded when the game was free with PlayStation Plus last June. Additionally the report states that also over 5 million pieces of downloadable content have been purchased and downloaded.
This all amounts to a total revenue exceeding $110 million, which is more than double what was made in the game’s first six months and exponentially higher than the $2 million spent developing the game.
Forbes also reported that the game has only 15 million lifetime players, a figure which is nearly double what it is just six months ago in December. According to Psyonix Vice President Jeremy Dunham, “our numbers are actually going up, not down, which is not very common for a game that’s ten months old.”
Considering that Psyonix plans of supporting this game for the foreseeable fortune, with more free DLC items like the basketball mode or hockey mode that have been released already and that the game now has cross-platform play it is safe to assume that the numbers are not going to be slowing down anytime soon.
