  • Epic Expands Competitive PC Online Catalogue with Acquisition of Rocket League Developer Psyonix
    Publication date: 07 May 2019 Author: Louise Shorthouse, Ph.D. Research Analyst I, Games and Apps Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Brought to you by Informa Tech Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue 1 with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Industry giant Epic Games has announced that it’s in the process of acquiring San Diego-based studio Psyonix, who develops the very popular vehicular-soccer game Rocket League. The title is one of the biggest cross-platform games that are available on all major platforms, second only to Epic’s Fortnite, and with more than 57 million lifetime players it represents the company’s most significant acquisition to date. Furthering Epic’s developer-centric vision for the future of PC gaming? Epic Games has been aggressively pursuing exclusive game content for its PC games store, with AAA titles such as Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 already listed, plus World War Z and Borderlands 3 in the pipeline. The acquisition of Psyonix initially appeared to be a significant move in Epic’s on-going battle to persuade Steam to commit to a permanent 88% revenue share for developers and publishers. Epic-exclusivity for Rocket League would represent a significant loss for Steam, and further fuel existing market tensions. However, despite initial indications that Rocket League would cease to be available on Steam following its release on the Epic Games Store, the company later clarified that no plans regarding the sale of the game on Steam had been finalised. The future of the title on Steam therefore remains to be seen.
