Rocket League Sideswipe: Everything You Need to Know About the Mobile Game from Epic Games
As Psyonix finished development of Battle-Cars, the studio had tried to gain access to a publisher by selling their game as "soccer, but with rocket-powered cars"; none of the publishers seemed interested.[31] Ultimately, they opted to self-publish the game on the PlayStation Network with almost no marketing.[33] Though it was downloaded more than two million times, it was not considered very successful even after the studio cut the price.[30][33] The studio continued on to other projects, though kept the idea of building on Battle-Cars as an option, recognizing the game had a small but dedicated fan-base that provided them with ideas for expansion.[30][31] These other projects, which including contract work for AAA games, including Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War, helped to fund the development of Rocket League.[34]
