Developer Psyonix teased that it has “even bigger things” along with “a number of exciting announcements” in store for the 2015 indie sensation in 2016. The teaser, which was included in a post on the PlayStation Blog, came along with an announcement that the game has hit almost 9 million players so far.

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.
Rocket League released earlier this year as a free game for PlayStation Plus subscribers, as well as a regular launch on Steam. In our hands-on preview with the game, we enjoyed its quirky mechanics. The game is also coming to Xbox One next year.
