Its 1m players, game allows split screen plus game sharing on Xbox too. I don't know how popular split-screen is in Rocket League, but it will still be a great big number of sales for them

I wonder if there is still concern for the population of the game. 
Though with the Halo and Gears cars it seems it may had been enforced here.

Ask again after a month, three months, six months and twelve months!
True but I think he's referencing that some were subtly saying the game would have no population or matches on XB1 since they wouldn't have cross play

I'm considering double dipping just to support Psyonix as much as possible. My favorite game in the last decade by far. I'm so damn glad that it is doing so well!

A simple formula that's easy to understand does wonders for it but that skill ceiling keeps people coming back and that's what has amazed me the most. Still regularly hitting 120,000 players at the weekend. These new ball physics are weird though.

So happy to see this game getting the love it deserves. Best multiplayer game I've played in years. So much fun even if you're losing.

Great game! Double dipped for PC and X1.
Oh well.
Day 1.
It's awesome that this game is selling well even though it was on PS+ for awhile. Didn't hinder it at all.

Come on Psyonix, post a video of tomorrow's office moneyfight. You know you want to!
Because cross-play is a good thing. Why are you questioning it, more players is better for everyone.

And people were worried. Unfounded worries and unrealistic demands.
The good news? More Rocket League, more fun, and more players for all, regardless of platform of choice.
There was definitely some concern, I don't know that I'd call it actually worrying in don some cases though.

Now allow cross play MS.
Yea that's an interesting experiment that I guess many indies developers are following on now, PS4 will have higher number of players, but will it be more profitable because of that considering most of them didn't buy it?
If the XB1 version would make more money I think we will see less initiatives like this with PLUS.
More than likely Sony. And if it wasn't for Sony getting the game on plus who knows what RL does

It's thanks to the exposure on PS+ that this game became such a success. Less initiative my ass.

This post makes you better than at least 98% of the people on the internet...I salute you!
How do you know this success is because of Plus? games did very well without Plus as well, it might have been a huge success on its own.

Incredible game. 3 of my buddies bought it after I raved about it, now we play hours whenever we can. Great success.

I think that post is the very definition of "downplaying the competitors succes". Kudos for that. Other than that, can you provide your own qualified guess on how many copies have been sold?
It's fantastic, indeed! I had my mate over the other day to try it, and he was hooked after 10 minutes. It's just that good.
If u don't see that I don't kno what to tell u. That 1st month on Plus sold the hell out this game. No way in the world I ever think I would like a game like this. If it wasn't a Plus game idk if I would have played it.

The word of mouth for this game has been crazy but well deserved.
Doubt it when no one even heard of the first game and it was basically the same.
Off the top of my head I can think of 326 xbox one/ps4 games that don't have cross platform play.
It's not needed and neither is mentioning cross platform play in every rocket league thread.
I bet they got a good deal from PS+ and also that PS+ gave them a good kickstart with a good sized online population that allowed the game to get a grip and start word of mouth.
Game is amazing but it could easily have been overlooked so getting it into people's hands was crucial
Not needed? Cross platform ensures that the online population is a high as possible. For a game using matchmaking that can only be a good thing.

Well, let's hope for an NX port
I remember the doubters and haters. Glad they are being proven wrong!

Ps plus will have helped playerbase but it won't have helped the accolades the twitch support etc. It was huge on pc straight away. It will have been successful no matter what. Would be funny if the xbox one version was more profitable than the ps4 after all the negativity it received in threads about it
it might be one buy and 999999 other accounts accessing it!
I don't know about you guys, but I gameshared it with Phil Spencer. Since Phil probably recieved a code from ID@Xbox or the devs, maybe no one bought it at all?!
Sounds like RL did really well on XBO. Plus they still have GwG as an option for when the userbase needs a little vitamin injection.
