Psyonix were well aware that they didn't do enough to market Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, which was basically dumped on PSN without any sort of advertising spend whatsoever.

Determined not to repeat the same mistake, however, Psyonix opted to get creative and market Rocket League by giving early copies of the game away to prominent streamers on YouTube and Twitch.

This allowed the game to reach a high level of visibility in the lead-up to its eventual release, while also confirming that players would love clipping out footage of their most ridiculous goals and saves.
