Psyonix’s car-soccer game Rocket League is already a megahit with 36 million registered players across its digital and retail versions, but now the studio is working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to bring its retail version to even more people around the world. WB and Psyonix have not said which regions will get this new printing.
Psyonix had partnered with publisher 505 Games to distribute Rocket League. WB is a larger company, and it has resources and relationships that Psyonix would struggle to build on its own. And while more people than ever are buying games online, a majority of the gaming audience still only buys discs, especially in emerging markets with slower internet speeds or even major markets that only have providers such as Comcast with strict data caps.
