After its release as a free PlayStation Plus game

Vehicular-based football game Rocket League is a bona fide hit. After its release as a “free” PlayStation Plus game, word of Rocket League Keys mouth and consistent releases on just about every other platform made the game incredibly popular. So much so that that it’s seen licenced spinoffs of all sorts – with other properties invading the game. Now, Rocket League is jumping out of video games and into real life.

Before you get excited at the prospect of jumping into a rocket-powered vehicle for a bit of footie, note that this is a diminutive version, licenced by Hot Wheels. It’s a set that comes with two smartphone-controlled cars, as well as a play mat with goals, an IR ball, and a charging mat for the cars and the ball.

Says the announcement: “The large set comes with ‘Octane’ and ‘Dominus’ remote-controlled cars, a Rocket League ball, and a custom field mat that looks like it’s straight out of the video game. Both Battle-Cars are controlled via Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet with no extra controllers to worry about. The vehicles and ball are charged via a large boost pad station and the set’s scoreboard will track any shots that go through the goal with sounds!”
