Update: There's now a launch trailer for Rocket Racing, which features a bunch of proper gameplay. It looks very fast and chaotic — let's hope it feels good to play, too.
Original Story: Rocket League is ditching football for the race track with Rocket Racing. Developer Psyonix is behind this new spin on the popular arcade game, and it's now available to play exclusively in Fortnite.
To celebrate the game's arrival, the above trailer has been released, giving fans an idea of what to expect. It's a cinematic trailer with zero gameplay, so we're still not very clued in when it comes to how this feels to play — but it's a neat, action-packed trailer that hints at some mechanics.
For example, it looks like the vehicles' manoeuvrability from Rocket League will translate over, with the cars able to jump and fly temporarily using boost. We also see one car take a shortcut or alternate path, so hopefully that comes into play in all the tracks. It seems we'll be able to drive on walls and ceilings too, with enough speed.
Are you excited to play this? Let us know in the comments section below.

“Not actual gameplay” in the small print 😂
Why do they even bother with these cinematic trailers
@BusyOlf Funnily enough, I just noticed another brand new trailer has arrived, and it has proper gameplay! Added it above.
So...it's been a while since I played Fortnite...does it have different "modes" now or is all of this expected to happen just happen during regular Battle Royale gameplay.
So this is a new game by the Rocket League people, but only playable in Fortnite? Not in Rocket League itself. Why exactly?
I'm having trouble downloading this or anything on ps5, error message
@GamingFan4Lyf it is similar to Roblox concept. Fortnite is platform not simple battle royale game anymore. And there is Epic created game modes and custom builded experiences (usually lower quality) from other players/smaller "devs".
@stBoa you're not alone! a lot of people are having the exact same issue but there's been no response from Sony and their website says everything's fine when it's clearly not
Never thought I would re-download Fortnite (I played the Beta way back) but I'm always ready for a good arcade racer and this does look like fun. Might give it a go.
@REALAIS Definitely changed a lot then. Last time I played it was when it switched to UE5 just because I wanted to see UE5 in action in an actual game.
The time before that, Fortnite was still on the OG map.
@JPEGMakima thanks, this site has just posted about now too
Welp, now I have to download Fortnite. You win, Epic.
Wish this was separate to Fortnight. I suppose they want to trick even more gamers into downloading fortnight. I won't be falling for it though
Only played one race (and the tutorial) but it wouldn’t let me in any other races after that.
I thought what little I played was alright but I’m not a big racing fan really. The only racing game I’ve gotten into is Disney Speedstorm. I’ll need to give Rocket Racing a few more tries before I make up my mind. I will say that 4,000 vbucks for a vehicle skin is ridiculous though.
But I do think it’s crazy impressive what Epic games has delivered with all these new games in such a short space of time.
