Though Psyonix knew that Rocket League was a substantial improvement over their previous effort, they had no idea that the game was going to become the breakout smash hit that it quickly would.

If Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars taught the team anything, it was that car-football probably wasn't going to capture the imagination of the mainstream, and so they simply expected Rocket League to be a cult fave at best.

But of course, that wasn't the case at all, as the game was downloaded a staggering 6 million times during its first month on PlayStation Plus alone, with designer Corey Davis calling the deal with Sony the "best decision" they ever made.
