“Soccer, but with rocket-powered cars” is coming on mobile devices soon. The game, developed by Psyonix, released on Microsoft Windows in July 2015 and went free-to-play in September 2020. Titled Rocket League Sideswipe, the game takes soccer to a whole new level by using vehicles and causing mayhem.
The developers assure that they are working on the game, which means it will not be long before the PC experience finally comes to phones.

Rocket League joins other famous PC and console games that have successful Android and iOS counterparts, like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, PES 2021 Mobile, FIFA Mobile, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
The game will face competition against famous racing and soccer titles, like Dream League Soccer, PES 21, NFS No Limits, and Asphalt 9. Since there is no other game matching similar gameplay, it has a high chance of success, even though the game features two-dimensional graphics.
