Despite Rocket League hitting its sixth birthday, it's still a game everyone must play. Rocket League is just that good that you should play it, regardless of its age. Here is why you should play Rocket League, and why it's just so good...

Yes, you read that right: Rocket League is six freaking years old now! Now, that might make you feel old, but it also might make you ask: is it really worth playing anymore? Surely there are better games to play nowadays, right? Wrong! Here are three reasons why you should play Rocket League!

Before we jump onwards and outwards, do you like it when we give you a couple of reasons why, and you can just sit back and relax? Well, we've got a couple for you now...

1. Rocket League Has Been Perfected

Rocket League has been around for more than half a decade, so it has had plenty of time to be perfected. It is one of, if not the, best balanced game on the market at the moment. With the big hitbox-update, Rocket League narrowed down the range of hitboxes available for different vehicles, restricting them to a select six - all perfectly balanced, and insanely fun.

It's not just balance that justifies Rocket League's perfection. Again: the game is six years old. That's an awful lot of time for bug fixing! Rocket League has been extensively bug-fixed and play-tested, making it one of the most stable and reliable games we have ever played. It has been a long road, and at times, a tricky one, but it has been sanded within a grain of perfection at this time - certainly a reason to play Rocket League!

2. Rocket League Is Full of Content

There is an insane amount of content in Rocket League, including maps, vehicles, decals, and an absolutely huge amount of items. The Rocket League Item Store is chock-a-block full of stuff to check out, to get hyped over, and to trade with your friends and fellow players! As a bonus, Rocket League also continues to have engaging Seasonal content (although, Season 3 was a bit dull!). This is clearly a fabulous reason to play Rocket League!

3. Rocket League is Timeless

Rocket League is simply a timeless experience. It is football with cars, and that never gets old - so of course you should play it! Let's be real: soccer is legendary, and cars are legendary. It doesn't get much better than that! Except... well... other stuff, like cheese. Cheese is also good, so is bacon. Crispy bacon. With cheese. Bacon and cheese. On a pizza. Eat a pizza.
