It has been confirmed during Nintendo's E3 presentation that Rocket League is coming to the Nintendo Switch.
The popular online title - which is like soccer, but with cars - has already proven to be a massive success on PlayStation 4 and other systems, and developer Psyonix has previously stated that it would like to bring the game to Switch.
Rocket League on Switch will boast all of the content seen in other versions, as well as exclusive items such as Mario and Luigi hats, exclusive cars, local wireless multiplayer and cross-network play. It's due for release "this holiday".

That's great! One of my favorite games that has been in my weekly/daily rotation since it launched. You're all in for a treat!
Never played this game but I've always wanted to. Never had a good enough computer or the right consoles... until now!
Heck. Yes!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!
CROSS PLATFORM PLAY = MONEY PRINTED
YESSS!
Which networks will it have cross-play with though?
Another coworker just said he's buying a Switch now. Said he'd get one the day Rocket League was announced for the sysfem
I suck so much at this game. Day One double dip!
This and Metroid make me immensely happy!
Will buy 100%
Nintendo needs this. A giant step in the right direction.
This is awesome
May as well sell my ps4 now, as this is all I've played on it since the Switch released.
This isn't the kind of game that's going to "win" E3 but I always thought that the series belonged on the Nintendo Systems more then any other system.
Day one purchase! I was so excited I literally screamed when I saw it, because this game belongs on the Switch for sure.
This is a dream come true.
Great game.
Cross-platform is brilliant.
Take this ANYWHERE??? It's one of the most crazy fun pick up and play / sit down and master games ever. i doubted it until i played it at my buddy's house.

Crossplay is with Xbox and Steam. No PS4 again.
Sony what are you doing?!
400 hours on PC means I'm done with this but everyone who hasn't played it is in for an absolute treat.
I'm glad to see Nintendo is on board with cross platform play. I have a good feeling that cross platform play will become more common in games in the near future.
I'll buy it.
I'll definitely check this out
Good news for Xbone & PC players as the Switch brings more competition. Bad news for PS4 players as Sony is still dead set against cross-platform play. First Minecraft and now this.
@IceClimbers Im glad this is confirmed to crossplay with Steam, i just wonder where that gaf thread got the info...
@JaxonH wishing him luck on finding that Switch!
@Dysnomia
Lol That's exactly what I told him.
Agreed by Black Friday they would be a better chance of being in stock
My brother loves Rocket League and has been trying to get me to buy it since release. I'm really hesitant to get it because I don't think I'd enjoy it near as much as he does. I'm still happy it's going to the Switch though. There are plenty of people who wanted this for a long time.
I have it on Xbox One and let me tell you, about anything you heard about it... yes. It's that good. Every bit as good as you heard.
It's like a soccer game coupled with Mario Kart and F-Zero, and that's about all you need to know.
Awesome!
@IceClimbers Careful, another user will come in soon to tell you that since the PS4 has a bigger userbase than XBOX and the Switch combined, Sony users shouldn't care.
When that ball rolled up to the switch was the highlight of the show. Great reveal for a great game. Can't arrive soon enough.
Great news, this game is a perfect fit for the Switch.
Meaning to get this for a while, and with cross network play, Switch it is.
Day one buy.
So is every 3rd party game going to have something Nintendo themed in it?
@JaxonH They'll be advertised for BF but then all the retailers will sell them out Wednesday night. (That happened last year with something, amiibo, games, I forget.)
I'm planning on getting mine then.
Oh yeah, Rocket League was a big win. It's one of those games that may not sell too many consoles - well outside of Switchworld anyway - but having it on there makes it look like real console. It's bigger than Netflix, and I'm all about Netflix.
Imagine rocket league amiibos this would be big too
@rjejr
So, we got Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Switch, Mario Kingdom Battle, new Yoshi, new Kirby, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 reconfirmed 2017, Fire Emblem Warriors looks slick, Arms and Splatoon coming up soon, Mario Odyssey which looks insane, Rocket League coming to Switch and Skyrim with Zelda content and motion...
Also got Metroid on 3DS which looks dope, and Spiderman and God of War and Shadow of the Colossus Remastered, Ori & The Will of the Wisps, and a potentially good Monster Hunter (which I'm feeling much more optimistic of as we get mote info confirmed).
Oh, and Skyrim in VR. Woot woot!
Switch's online library is looking too darn good right now. More hours in a day, please!
To anyone who hasn't played this. You have something really special to look forward to. An absolutely superb game.
Seriously, it's brilliant.
@AlexSora89
"anything you heard about it... yes. It's that good. Every bit as good as you heard."
Preach it!
Rocket league could be a system seller for switch.
if they dont add Mario Kart karts as DLC then they clearly hate money.
Now that this has cross-network play, it's on my radar.
Shame I already got this on the Xbox One. If it's £15, then I may get it.
This is absolutely wonderful as I as always looked looked at this game with longing eyes but have never owned a system that it is on, so this will be just wonderful and cross system play is a must
this game is really fun. But it is not easy to dominate it. I hope Switch players will be -mostly- new users, so I can last for longer in a match. I dislike FIFA and still I liked this game (on Steam).
@electrolite77
I will. Where's my preacher suit?
Looking pretty good there. I doubt I'll play this on the Switch but maybe I'll play against Switch players sometime, if I can get over the frustration involved with that camera auto-centering...
I'm normally not one for sports games, but I've heard a lot of good things about Rocket League. I may end up checking this one out.
Seriously great news.
It's a good thing. I'm probably going to get this.
Good news! I haven't played this, but I have seen people asking for this game since day one. It's great that Nintendo has been stepping their game regarding third parties requested by the userbase.
"exclusive content"...
This is a pick up and play for 20 minutes or stay for 3 hours game and is just the sort of thing I no longer have the time for on the PS4 any more. But will be great on the switch, play in handheld drop in dock when it sucks you in (and it tends to do that) I got this for free first time from PSN so happy to buy this and hope to get back into it. It's a great addition to the line-up
@JaxonH "Oh, and Skyrim in VR. Woot woot!"
Better make sure you use the restroom before playing that one, wouldn't want you getting too immersed and whipping it out and going on the floor.
It's a good thing you're so optimistic b/c VR scares me to death. Not right now, it's all fun and games now, but 5 or 7 years from now when the tech in phones gets good enough the whole world is going to be walking around w/ AR phones strapped to their face like Google Glass. I dont' want to be 80 years old and sitting w/ my grandkids around the Christmas tree Christmas morning and all 4 or 5 of them have screens glued to their faces. It's like the beginning of the end. All anyone would ever need from life is Google Glass and a blow up doll.
