Rocket League has existed for some time now, and although the game has a lot of potential, it has not managed to become as big on the Esport scene. Part of the reason is the high ceiling of the skills of the game. However, with the free game next week, it is expected that it has good things to hope in the near future.

Progression and account link

- We strongly recommend linking each account you play at the same time so that you can make an enlightened choice when selecting your main platform
