Despite only being on the market for half of 2015, Psyonix’s runaway hit Rocket League amassed nine million players from July until December to become the biggest indie hit of the year. Psyonix expressed their gratitude in a special post on the Playstation Blog:
We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing year we’ve had here at Psyonix Studios. With your help, your enthusiasm, and your unbelievable loyalty, Rocket League has created a family of almost nine million players worldwide and the numbers keep getting better each and every day!
Next year, we have even bigger things in store for Rocket League, with a number of exciting announcements already planned to appear over the next several months. As always, we will continue to support the game as aggressively as we can, with new content, new modes, new DLC, new Arenas, and plenty of other cool things to keep you coming back and happy in 2016.
Of course, nothing we accomplished this year (or plan to do for the next) would have been possible without you, our dedicated community. You helped us reach our dreams with Rocket League, and now we hope to inspire yours for many years to come.
The studio is promising some new updates in 2016, many of which haven’t been announced yet. Rocket League generated $50 million for Psyonix on an initial budget of $2 million. Not a bad Christmas present…
