The theme and design of Rocket League are quite tempting to let your content stay in a video game. That's why Psyonix and Hot Wheels were in charge of designing a game set that will be available this year and that will allow you to experience real encounters.Today Psyonix announced its new agreement with Hot Wheels for 2018 and presented the Rocket League RC Rivals set, which will bring the intensity of the matches to real life Rocket League Crates.

As always, these high-tech toys are expensive; the Rocket League "hard" is announced at a price of $ 180, and we should be able to get one by the end of the year holidays ...
