WorthPlaying writes: "Psyonix Studios' Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars for the PlayStation Network isn't exactly a title that you can say three times fast, but given the developer's pedigree, you should definitely be paying attention. Psyonix developed the Onslaught game type in Unreal Tournament 2004, provided assistance with vehicles in Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3, and ported Monster Madness: Grave Danger to the PS3. Since they know their way around the Unreal Engine and one of the devs is a huge soccer fan, Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, which combines the Unreal Engine and soccer, seemed to be a logical development choice.
Supersonic is essentially a game of soccer in which you're a vehicle that battles against other vehicles, and everyone tries to kick the soccer ball into the opposing team's goal. Three maps are included in the game - a modern cityscape, a sunny Utopian garden, and a desert - although Psyonix was thinking of providing a free map via downloadable content when the game launches. You start off with two vehicles, but you can unlock five more vehicles by playing through the mini-games mode. There are two initial skins for each vehicle, but, again, that number may also increase with DLC."
From Xfire: "Just in case you missed it, Sony recently confirmed the rumors that they'd be shutting down the digital storefronts for their older consoles. In particular, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita.
With the news now official, it might be a good idea to get your hands on the best exclusive PS3 games. Otherwise, obtaining these titles might become more difficult once the store closes later in July 2021."

You can always play them on PC using RPCS3: https://rpcs3.net/ Just have to torrent then games, also they will look so much better on PC as well, especially if you use reshade 🙃🎮
Which begs the question: how the **** have Sony not been able to get this sorted by now. The PS5 should be powerful enough.
In this exclusive interview Psyonix's Thomas Silloway discusses Rocket League, the upcoming sequel to 2008’s Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars
Gamereactor.no writes "As the Playstation 3 is starting to show its age, the game library is doing the same. That, however, does not prevent the developers at Psyonix from launching a major update to the now five-year-old Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars."

And keep in mind that they're working on a sequel as we speak. Can't recommend this game enough, it's one of the best local multiplayer games on PS3.
Spent so many hours playing this with friends in local multiplayer.
If it's still available I'd recommend this to anyone who has gamer-friends coming over. It's crazy fun in 4 player split-screen
Please note that the patch isn't out quite yet though. They said that it'd be ready in about a month, as it says on the (admittedly Google Translated) website.
